My first turnings since Christmas.
The first was one a friend requested. He wanted a "dark" pen and since I didn't have any black plastic I used African Blackwood and Black Titanium Olympia with CA finish (with some splotching):
The second was my second blank from the WoodCraft Heirloom Pens class on making segmented pens. This one is Amboyna burl and maple burl in a gold-titanium cigar with CA finish:
I'm kinda bummed at how badly the nib-side maple burl matches the maple-burl stripe. Oh well, can't complain about "free" wook. I do love the fact that this is my first CA finish that turned out 100%.
All comments welcome.
