Five Lonely Pens

[louisbry]

My local woodworking club is sponsoring an "In the Spirit of Fine Woodworking Exhibition" at the Tullahoma Fine Arts Center on May 3 through May 10. There will be approximately 200 exhibits entered and mine will be the only pens. From left to right they are Spalted Hackberry Jr. Gentleman, Walnut/ Cherry segmented Tapa, Honduran Rosewood Burl Jr. Statesman, Spalted Crabapple Jr. Gentleman and Figured Black Cherry Cigar. I found all the wood except the Rosewood Burl near my home in Tennessee. Comments are always welcome.

Louis, you're lucky all you can find on this side of the state is Oak ,Red, Pin and Poison, Cedar, and some Maple, but not much, we do have a lot of junk pulpwood pine.

Is that lonely or "lovely"!? Beautiful work.

Beautiful pens, I like the Crab apple a lot, but if you wanted I like the others would be willing to evaluate any of them at a closer proximity.

 

[Ligget]

Now they are sweet pens Louis!

Great work on all, but put down another vote for the Hackberry. Nice, nice stuff.

 

[savi2]

Beautiful group of pens. My choice is a toss up between the rosewood and the crabapple.
