Barrel of monkeys

[pete00]

Ok how about a monkey pod pen in a bowl.

You cant see it well but i was hoping the pen would come out like the cutting board i took the blank from.The blank has a brownish honey color tone with nice dark streaks. The pen came out more of a gray tone to it. It must have been the way they finished the cutting board. Couldnt duplicate it tried a few oils and waxs.

And my second attempt at a bowl, this also was about an inch deeper until i cought the edge and knocked out a piece. Good thing im taking bowl class next week

I still think the grain of the pen looks good, Pete. The bowl don't look bad either.

I like the monkey pod and the pen looks great. Good job on the bowl. The last one I made became airborn.
