I got this Jeff Powell pine cone blank from Exotic Blanks a couple of weeks ago. I turned it the other night and as I was finishing it something caught my eye. It looks like an Owl looking out at you from within a tree. Pretty cool I think I'll have to keep this one.

Looks good. Definitely a keeper.

Looks like he has a bunch of friends backing him up.

Great looking pen.

That's great looking! I saw it right away!!! Keeper for sure!!! But if you let anyone close to you see it you might loose it

Nice, very nice. Reminds me I got a couple of his blanks that need to be turned.

You wouldn't think a pine cone would be hard but I found that as I turned it and got down to the core of the pine cone it was much harder that the acrylic. I stopped and re-sharpened my gouge and used a light touch.

I don't really see it as an owl but definitely a great looking pen. I don't have much in the way of imagination either so that kind of limits me as to what I see in some of these designs. Bit of a downer sometimes.

Beautiful pen Andy, I can see the owl clearly, a definate keeper!

It is a very sharp looking pen, Pine Cone pens have intrigued me for a while, some day when I get better.

That is nice! Hold onto that one until you get tired of it, then sell it.

That is a cool looking pen. I gotta try pine cone one of these days.

 

[Rum Pig]

WOW that is a nice pen.

I have just bought 3 of them but I have been a bit scared to turn them. But after seeing that I should have a go
