More Inside Out Turning

[Kcimdrib]

Following on from my first Inside Out attempt I decided to go large. This is more of an exercise in turning rather than making a pen. I wanted to go extreme on the technique to really show off the effect. Rather a delicate pen to turn but again it is quite strong also I wanted to paint the tube as someone suggest last time. Far to large to take a clip so I'll call it a desk pen.
Please feel free to comment. I sort of like it.

You painted the tube, but I can still see it!! Just kidding. It does have some cool factor to it. I have seen Christmas ornaments done this way and I have wanted to try them, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

KEN I painted the tube just for.you. I made it to see if I could.. Its an old technique but on a pen its difficult because of size
Thanks as always for you comments.

I like it. As you mentioned it's in the large size but I like the technique. I think the painted tube added a lot to it as well. I think it doesn't take away from the wood or design near as much as an unpainted tube.

It does look better with the tube painted. And it's ventilated for those long writing sessions!

Thank you for your comments I wonder if I could use it to Slice Carrots or Peel Potatoes .

Excellent! Well done.

Thank you I will just make one more and try to make it slimmer and fit a clip .
And then put it to bed. Unfortunately you cannot do much on design because of the lack of wood.

Like I said earlier though, you can make some pretty amazing ornaments with this method. It's on my to do list.

Ken I look forward to seeing them. From your other work you are a very skilled man.

Thank you I will make another and try to make it thinner but the windows will be much narrower. I just tried to demonstrate on this pen the effect.
Its an old technique but gets you thinking.

Dual purpose! Might keep that in mind for the future. You can make notes on your recipes without having to put the peeler down.

Yes and if you attach it to a drill it might make a good Whisk.
