Thank you Brian . The segmented Tiny Giant blank was scrap box pickings .
The spalted maple blank was even a beauty before I turned it , I wasn't sure if the spalt lines were through the blank but they actually intensified as I turned the blank .

Thank you Lee . Yes , the Tiny Giant is a cool little pen , I got it from turners warehouse

They are out of stock right now but I pm'd Chad on his Facebook page and he said he'll have them back in stock shortly . I really like them .
The Celtic Twist , I've had that kit for a while sitting around , I wasn't sure if I would like it or not , I thought it might be to garish for my taste . Surprisingly to me it isn't , there is just enough there with the hardware to be classy and elegant , and a big pallet to show off a nice piece of wood . I'll be turning more Celtics for sure .
