I recently participated in the Irish Bog Oak group buy. This is the first of the blanks I have tried. I think I'll be turning more real soon! I must say that it's a beautiful very dark brown ( almost black ) color. http://www.penturners.org/photos/index.php?n=26079 http://www.penturners.org/photos/index.php?n=26080

Great job Mark What is the finish?
Your pen looks great! Finish is really good. Did you have to work at filling the grain and pores of the oak? I was wondering how coarse the grain is on this batch of Bog Oak, as compared to regular "unbog" oak?
Looks very handsome on the front page :biggrin:
Thanks, if I can do it anyone can!Mark, that pen is beautiful and inspiring for us less experienced turners. Love it!
The IBO came from a group purchase we recently had:very nice!! ...where did you get the blanks from?
