I think Eric (Buzzzz4) has been really busy lately so I'll post some pics of the pen I did for him for the transformation swap. I know Eric has already recieved it so I'm not spoiling any surprises. Eric sent me alot of fun and odd items to use, but in the end everything was an epic disaster to either cast or turn. So I had to play it somewhat safe and use the last of the mini pinecones and alumilite to make a sierra sized blank. I was really happy with how it came out. I was trying to have the 2 larger pinecones on the ends and the mini's in the middle, but I was a bit off with where I glued in the tube. Finished with some CA and here it is:
This one I wish I could have avoided, but it's already paid for so I made it. It originally was supposed to be an Atrax RB but he changed his mind to a zen the next day. Problem for me was that I already started and used my 1 and only blank that was made by Fred (Ptownsubbie). For those that don't know, his coffee bean blanks are super easy to turn and blowouts aren't likely. Instead however I had to go to my local turning store and buy an INLACE bean blank...well, I bought several just in case. Thankfully I only need 1. I just had to take it slow and steady. Finished in CA and happy it's all over. Hope yall like it:
Thanks for looking!
