A Pair Of Sierra Pens

[wdcav1952]

These are made from wood gotten during one of Isaac's housecleaning sales. (I'd love to see what he thinks is good enough to keep for himself! [] )

The first is Amboyna with Sapwood, using one of Beartoothwoods.com Black Titanium and Platinum kits.

The second is a burl that I don't know the name for. (Any id information is appreciated.) It is also on one of Ernie's kits, the Satin Copper.

I tried to print out the gradient Fangar sent me (Thanks, James.) but my printer wasn't up to the task of giving me a good printout. Still, it makes a good background.

Comments + or - appreciated.

Wow! I LOVE that first pic. It looks CG!

I like them both, Cav! But the Amboyna always steals my heart. As far as IDing the other... for me only two burls jump out at me ID wise, Amboyna and Afzelia. I can't help you with this one, but I like it.[^]

Both look wondeful.

Sorry I can't offer much help IDing the other wood.

What's "CG"?

I like the second one, it looks like camphor.

Great pictures from a guy who less than a year ago was in total frustration trying to upload one.
NIce job on the turning and finsh but too much harware in the kit, but you knew I was going to say that.[]

I don't think my comments can do those couple of pens justice.... "excellent!!!"

Thanks all for commenting. An especial tip of the hat to Eagle for teaching me how to upload decent photos.

A comment was made that the amboyna might look better with a gold Ti kit. I'll give that a try and update the post.

I didn't"teach" you anything,just explained the "mechanincs" as I understood them.
Your great photos are a testament to that.[]

Very nice! On the first one the wood has a lot of depth to it.
