Working on my MPG (IL) 2015 demo

[low_48]

How about you? My demo will be on double and triple dying on the lathe. The first pen on the left is a triple dyed curly soft maple. Second is double dyed curly soft maple, third is a double dyed maple burl, and the final one on the right was an odd find. This soft maple had this crazy speckled white rot. So took it down to about 1/16" oversize, and dyed it black. Then final turned and only the speckle remained black. Then came back over with the orange dye. Comments welcomed, see you in a few weeks in Champaign!!!!

The original symposium of all things pen turning. Folks share there techniques and experiences, a few vendors, and mainly the chance to visit face to face with people that only communicate often on the computer. It's a blast!

I really like the last one with black and orange. The first one really shows the grain pattern great work. Wish I could watch your demo but I live kinda out of range.
