Looking Good Bruce.
Tried a bowl out of the stuff, total disaster. Of course that was a couple years back. A lot of learning since then so might be a good time to give it a another shot..
I presume you impregnated the OSB with something before turning it. Otherwise, it's pretty soft.
Has anyone every done anything with particle board? Varnished particle board makes neat work counters, but its tough to work with - very hard and abrasive on tools.
Very cool pen. We used to call that Aspenite years ago in Eastern Canada. I have been thinking of using something similar - Parallam. (Think OSB on steroids... used to replace steel beams its so strong) Now I just need to find a source. I know its common in the Great White North, but not sure where to get it down here...
Bruce I didn't know they made OSB Burl That is unreal it made a very interesting pen, I wouldn't be at all ashamed to carry or show one that looked that good, [size=-8]and I'm a fountain pen snob[/size]
