Hello, everyone.
I'm a new member from Taiwan.
Here are some pens I made.
Taiwan has ancient forest, so we have many kinds of trees.

Chamaecyparis formosensis

Taiwan Yew( Taxus sumatrana (Miq.) de Laub)

Chamaecyparis obtuse var. formosana

Great work, and I love the unusual and distinct figuring of your woods.

 

[Rick P]

No worries Bon..........I am so bad with computers I'm lucky I can find my way back to this site and you gave me the gift of laughter on a day I could really use it!

 

[Rick P]

Man the figuring in that Yew is awesome! Great job turning them and thanks for reposting, I love seeing new woods!

 

[terryf]

Great pens, I particularly like the Sierra

A quick tip for the photographs, your depth of field is a too small so the whole pen is not in focus. If you increase the aperture (f-stop) to around f11 - f16 you will see an improvement. This does mean that you will need a tripod as your shutter speed will be very low.

Hope this helps.

[MrWright]

[bon]

thank you guys. IAP is such a warm place.
I'll keep practicing and making more pens.

It seems like everyone loves the pen made by yew.
Taiwan yew is the most precious tree in taiwan, and it grow up so slowly.
The blank I used is from a tree over 700 years old.
