Holy Sheetim!

[GoodTurns]

sorry for the less than great pics, learning a new camera and don't know all the features yet!

Pair of Jr Statesmen, Sheetim Acacia blanks from "Monty"....turns and works like other Acacias I have turned, wonderful chatoyance! Standard CA finish. (well, standard for me :wink

Looks nice.. and the finish doesn't compete with the figuring of the wood!

Is it my eyes, or is the lower tube of the bottom pen reversed?

A very beautiful pair.

The work is great, and the wood is so special, Jon you did job on the finish as well, thanks for showing them I have wondered for some time what Shittam looked like, it's history is fascinating.

It's your eyes! The blank had 2 sections showing different colors. Didn't get a pic with the "face" showing because the other pen was so much more interesting! The fountain kinda got ignored. Attached is the RB closed.

It's your eyes! T

That doesn't surprise me. :tongue:

I've had to start photographing my own pens in progress so that I can
enlarge them on the computer to see them.
