My LOML ask me last night after work to make a pen for a friend she going to see today, lucky I did have 3 laying around all glued up, so I take an easy one and I turn a Banksia Cigar pen ( 2 hours to do it with 3 coats of CA sander to 12000mm between each coat )your comments are welcome + or -

Thanks for looking

Serge, love to chat to you one day about how you get that finish. Let me know if it would be ok to give you a call.

Thank you all for your comments, banksia wood is very soft kind of cedar don't take long to turn the pen, take long to the CA to cure.

Justin no problem will contact you off line

I guess I was thinking of a Banksia Pod when I read the topic of the thread... hah. That wood looks amazingly like beefwood, or Macadamia. I guess it could be the actual wood part that a Banksia pod comes from too. I've not seen that before... LOL.

Anyway, great looking pen.
