Mozambique Rosewood on a FT Sierra

[terryf]

Turned a pen for one the blokes at the office.

Used Mozambique Rosewood which is quite a bit softer than I thought. The wood has lovely pattern to it and took a nice CA finish.

Thanks for looking :biggrin:

Good looking pen, I'm just now getting into the CA finishing and having good luck so far. Keep up the great looking pens

Terry, you have a beautiful pen there. The fit and finish are very good and the timber is outstanding. I have never turned any of that wood, but i found soft wood to be rewarding when it does come out well like yours did. Congratulations.

That Mozambique Rosewood is beautiful. I wonder if there is anyone in the States that imports it...

Thanks for the comment Brian.

Can't help you with any importers though. Have another small piece but its falling apart and needs to be stabilized.

Terry, That is a beautiful pen. I've neither seen nor worked with that wood before but you did a great job of showing the detail. Your finish is excellent.
Regards, Doc

Thanks for the kind words Doc but it wasn't up to standard. You can see a few tooling marks on the third photo from the left on the left side of the photo. Didn't notice these at first but once I saw them I had to re-do the pen. It is, nevertheless, now a lot better.
Thanks again

Good looking pen. Like the match of blank to pen.
