Fire Belly Toad?

[KMCloonan]

I loved the name of this blank from Exotic Blanks - "Fire Belly Toad", so I bought one. I think I will buy more, as this is one of the most interesting blanks I have turned in a long time. I think they mixed some Thyme spice into the resin. At least that's what it looks like.

The kit is a Caballero, also from Exotic Blanks. Very similar to Jr. Gentleman. I was able do my first finial swap with this pen as well.


Thanks to Mark Dreyer & John Underhill for their YouTube video on how to turn a custom Finial:

The video was all John. Hoping he decides to do more for the channel or creates his own.

As for the pen above - spectacular work. Looks great.
