    Took 4 years but I finally got a lathe and made some pens

    Here they are. I am posting here because some generous penturners sent me cutoffs and scraps and would not even accept money for postage. It took a while but I made those pens. Alot went on between 2019 and 2023. The pandemic, me having gastric bypass surgery, almost dying from bloodclots and...

    Splurged a Little Today

    It was a small Brown Mallee burl slab laying on the shelf at Woodcraft in Louisville. No price, but I knew it would be expensive. Perfect size to use for display or photos of either pens or some of my wife’s stuff she makes.

    Stabilizing partially finished burl

    I have a piece of redwood burl that broke off a live edge coffee table that I'd like to turn into hybrid blanks. The burl was cut by my grandfather, who owned a sawmill in the California redwoods, over 70 years ago, so it has sentimental value for the family. The coffee table was finished...

    Two burly Tree IDs

    It's winter where my parents live in Maryland, so I have no leaves to go off of but I found two beautifully burly trees that are both dead. If you're wondering, I'm not turning an entire tree into pen blanks. But I will certainly be using some burl off of them once they're cut down (for slabs...

    Cherry Burl

    Asked in another thread about best way to handle. Will be interesting to see what I have ended up with as I cut it up. About 15” x 15” and 8” thick.

    Swedish Birch Fountain Pen

    2 years ago when walking around my family's garden I found this cool little looking birch "tree" which was growing horizontally with 2 trees growing vertically on top. I knew immediately that it would be some great wood for making pens! After letting it dry for almost 2 years, it was now finally...

    Olivewood burl stabilization help

    Bought a lot of olivewood and 4 or 5 pieces are from a burl. They have huge cracks that go very deep into the blanks. They have incredible figure but I dont know what to do with them. How should I handle them? I hope that ive include the picture correctly

    Jr. Gent w/Black Cherry Burl

    Who needs exotic wood when native cherry looks like this? This is a Jr. Gent II in Rhodium wrapped in Black Cherry Burl from northern Pennsylvania. I stabilized it with Cactus Juice and it turned and finished like a dream. The finish is just a few coats of BLO & thin CA and then buffed.

    Turning and Finishing Burl Pens

    I have been challenged with an ongoing issue when turning burl pens. It's the pitting/pockets. I've read various blogs and it seems inevitable to have pitting in burls pens. What ideas are out there to either prevent the pitting, or ways to fill the pits and finish the pen. I apologize for...

    My first posted pen

    I'm still working on my photography skills, but this pen is a spalted two-tone afzelia burl from Bad Dogs. It's also my first FP, and is one I may be keeping for myself. CA Finish, 6 coats, then buffed with a little carnauba wax on a wheel.
