Sugar Pine Cone Emperor

[monark88]

This a Sugar Pine Cone that I picked up at Big Bear, coming past the dam in 1970. It was a large cone. I had to turn off more of the center than I would have liked to have done. If I had stopped at a stopper size it would have been much better. Kit is an Emperor.

I use Picasa for everything and love it. No problems yet and that is saying a lot from me.:biggrin:

Oh and from what I can see of the pen, it looks descent but needs less of a bULgE.

I agree. I have had a "problem" with wanting to make larger, heavier type pens, especially with the larger higher end pen kits. Sometimes, even with the Euros. Have no idea why. Since my 'lay-off' period, I'm turning more within the boundaries of a particular kit. Again, I have no idea why I've changed the way I turn now. I used to do similar stuff when I turned rod handles.
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

Its not Picasa, its me. Every time I tried to resize to about 800x650, the size resized to much less, seemingly on its own. Apparently I did sumpin wrong.
Gonna take today off from the pens and try to get the software right.
thanks Russ

send from picassa to desktop then from there upload it. It is easier for me to do that way.
