Curly Mango and Brazillian Rosewood Slimline

[hiharry626]

What do you guys think? Do you think it's a nice combination? My teacher had one half of a rosewood blank which he gave me for free and I had half of a curly mango blank(i messed up the other half by drilling). What do you think if I used mango on one side and rosewood on the other? Thanks

Best way to find out is to give it a shot...

Go for it, you have nothing to lose.

well i gave it a shot, the curly mango blank chipped even the tube cause the spindle i think was unstable and wobbly, i decided to give it another go on a better lathe my teacher has, with another rosewood blank.. i'll have pictures up very soon! Turned 3 pens this week, man I am proud and cannot wait to show them off
