amboyna burl

You may have seen last week where I made my first Amboyna for my father, and had promised the next one was mine! Told Ya! Made this guy the other day and have been carrying it for a few days. Carried it around like a egg, being ever so carful not to damage it until I took photos. Rhodium Jr Gent...

Here is one done with Amboyna Burl acquired from another member here (thanks Garrett). The finish came out perfect but the "fit" needs a bit of work. Any advice on how to clean up the ends so they don't show the white bands would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom

I made this today .... Amboyna Burl on Triton Components. A rollerball but it will easily convert to a fountain. To bad they don't sell components that include each option. :eek::smile: That'll NEVER happen! :biggrin::wink: Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks for looking! :smile:

Hello fellow woodturners. I've been turning pens now for the past year now and I've just recently tried making a fountain pen. Jr. Gentleman to be precise. the pen is completely assembled, I just cant figure out how to get the ink flowing. Sounds crazy I guess, but the directions I pulled up...

Sorry for the crappy photography. I just thought I'd show you guys what I've been up to lately. I knocked this out in about three hours... I took a long wedge of malachite truestone and CA'd each side of it with some black plastic sheeting I bought at a modeling shop (used in building...

Another video, this one showing turning between centers using stock bushings, initially using a Woodchuck Pen Pro ... then finishing off with a skew chisel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFhRINVDDE

I recently ordered some pen blanks from Harris Burls (Nolan), and as I explained here ... http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67209 got more than I expected. While it's a nice problem to have, I'm not sure what some of them are.:redface: :confused::confused: I would greatly...

These are my first 2 razors. They were a lot of fun to make. The maple burl is for my father-in-law for his birthday. The two-tone amboyna is for me! I have heard that using wood for a razor is risky because of the water. To try to prevent cracking I put about 8 coats of CA on the outside...

This is the original Jr. Gent with what has to be my favorite wood, amboyna burl. Comments Good and Bad are welcome. Thanks for looking. :smile:

My most recent pen, a Black Titanium Jr.Gent II rollerball in Amboyna Burl.

My latest pen, a Tycoon rollerball in Amboyna burl. I tried to have more patience with my CA finish this time. I let let it set for a day or so before buffing using the methods/materials mentioned by George (Texatdurango) in a past thread. The black mark on the end cap is only in the photo (I...

We make these from exotic offcuts of Amboyna Burl, Afzelia lay etc, and wondered what you thought? Ranging in size from 2" tall to 20". Comments appreciated

My first attempt at turning a Majestic Jr. rollerball resulted in a nice pen that wouldn't "post", as the plastic threads got bunged up. So for my second try I decided to do a fountain out of Amboyna burl. =0) It was also my first attempt at adding blo to the finishing process with the CA.

Hello! Just finished this for a customer, thought I would share it with all of you before it got away. Please tell me what you think.
