Turned a pen for one the blokes at the office.

Used Mozambique Rosewood which is quite a bit softer than I thought. The wood has lovely pattern to it and took a nice CA finish.

Thanks for looking :biggrin:

Terry, you have a beautiful pen there. The fit and finish are very good and the timber is outstanding. I have never turned any of that wood, but i found soft wood to be rewarding when it does come out well like yours did. Congratulations.

Terry, That is a beautiful pen. I've neither seen nor worked with that wood before but you did a great job of showing the detail. Your finish is excellent.
Regards, Doc
 
Thanks for the kind words Doc but it wasn't up to standard. You can see a few tooling marks on the third photo from the left on the left side of the photo. Didn't notice these at first but once I saw them I had to re-do the pen. It is, nevertheless, now a lot better.
Thanks again :)
