FIRST PEN & CIL SET

[aRMdaMAN]

Hello there Guys from deep down across the pond in South Africa
Thought we'd share pics of our very first PEN & PENCIL SET in local indigenous RED/PINK IVORY (BERCHEMIA ZEYHERI, RAHMNUS ZEYHERI - take Your pick !!) with GUN METAL Coachwork
Would like to pursue making these Sets for a while
Thanks in advance for eye-balling and commenting on

Like the timber.

Nice work and great finish. I think pink ivory is underrated. It's a beautiful wood.

 

[KMCloonan]

Beautiful pen & pencil, and as mentioned above, amazing finish. Well done, and thanks for sharing!

 

[Jim15]

Beautiful stuff- does this color fade when exposed to UV sunlight? (I've had eastern red cedar that looks like this but eventually gets a little brown).

Gentlemen
Thanks a Zillion for the most encouraging responses.
"Tis much appreciated
In response to QQ - we have not had our Wood Colour fade in any way. Yes. What we have done as a mild insurance is used Motor Vehicle Polish over the final CA Buff to inhibit any such colour loss. We have made this a habit on completion of ALL our Pen Blanks. Hope this helps.
Happy turning

Indeed. Wood has its own inherent beauty yet the Photos don't do justice to its remarkable Chatoyance.
Thanks.
