    Jr Gent I - Amboyna Burl

    Here is one done with Amboyna Burl acquired from another member here (thanks Garrett). The finish came out perfect but the "fit" needs a bit of work. Any advice on how to clean up the ends so they don't show the white bands would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom

    'Boyna Burl

    Hey all! Took a weekend at home from college, so naturally the first thing I did was ate a big bucket of green chile (the local food of choice in New Mexico):biggrin:, and hopped on the lathe! I was hoping to make a whole bunch of pens, to replenish my stock, but I figured one real nice one...

    First post: platinum Amboyna Euro; platinum closed end Kingwood with Ebony

    The last two pens I made - one last night, the other a week ago: First picture: I got a great deal on 25 Amboyna (non-burl) blanks at Global Wood Source in San Jose - $25! This is the first one of this batch I've turned, and I just took it easy and used a Woodcraft platinum Euro kit. As...

    Harris Burls

    Recently placed an order with Harris Burls, (our own Nolan on IAP). I ordered 3 Amboyna burls and 2 Red Malle burls. Apparently the order got overlooked for a short time. I wasn't worried, I figured he was just busy. When the order arrived .... I couldn't believe it...

    Double Closed-end Amboyna Fountain

    This is similar to the double closed-end I made last weekend but I thought a fountain would be more appropriate. I made the bottom barrel about 1.5cm longer than I did last time. The centerband is made from trustone turquoise and buckeye burl. I am more pleased with how the hidden clip turned...

    Double closed-end amboyna with custom center ring

    I finally tried my hand at an closed end pen but I wanted to go for the double closed-end. This is my first one. I don't have a closed-end mandrel so I had to figure out another way. I went to a local IAP club meeting a couple of weekends ago and I we saw a demo about how to make a closed-end...

    Amboyna Burl Majestic

    I was fortunate enough to find a large wedge of beautiful amboyna locally. It made some great pen blanks. It didn't have any sap wood around the outside though. This is one of the pens that I have made with it. This is a Majestic pen kit from Penn State. The amboyna was first sanded down to...

    The story of my first pen...

    A couple of weeks ago, I proudly finished my first pen after a dozen DNFs. That made it number 13. Unlucky number 13. Photo enclosed. Not a bad looking pen, although it had some mistakes. It was definitely a keeper. It was, after all, my first pen. In my real world, I had a client that had...

    After 12 DNFs, my first finished pen.

    I studied everything I could before put a chisel to wood. I'd get a little further with each pen, solving the problems as they arose. I had purchased this blank of amboyna burl two tone from eBay about two months ago. The kit, as you probably recognize is a designer from PSI. I was so excited...

    Inspired by Gisi and Kaspar

    A while back I saw a thread by Kaspar (now closed) that said the pen he made was homage to Gisi, which I didn't understand until I googled Mark Gisi and found his web site and saw the complexity and precision of his pen making. Some viewers of that thread stated they thought Gisi's work is too...

    50/50 Amboyna Burl Zen Pen

    You just have to love Amboyna Burl! :smile: These Zen pens really let you show off the nice wood. Got this piece from AS. These are one of my favorite pens to make because of the single tube and I just love the magnetic cap!
