as been a while I didn't post a pen on IAP, so here's one and he took me several weeks after looking at the blank to decided myself to turn it, this blank of Sindora Burl as been given to me by a friend ( from who say ) "the burl as been recovered from the Mekong River, which divides Thailand and Laos, about 10 years ago. Thousands of trees were apparently dropped into the river during the deforestation which occurred during the Vietnam war."This Burl is awesome and only a top of the range kit can do it honor, have a hi-cup with the finish as I find that the Brul is oily so have to redo the finish 2 coats of CA , buff with tripoli, white diamond, polished with Renaissance wax, all comments welcome.
Here's the blank
This was a suprise to me as I was filling up the crack with CA the crack turn up GREEN
Here's the pen
In another note I have been asked by friends from my woodturning club to present my pens at The Australian Woodturning Exhibition and Competition ( June 15th, 16th, 17th ) so this one will be in the judging basket with another one, who is in process to be finished in time, date line is 21st May for me, the exhibition never have pens in display so I will be the first one to present some pens in miscelleaneous entries.
Thanks for looking
