thanks oscar15, or can i just call you oscar. it was great turning, i had just sharpened my 1/2 in. gouge, so cutting was easy. the finish was 3 coats of thick CA. the 2 blanks are side by side cuts, not end on end and at the seam of the hollow. you know what i mean.

Very cool pen. Be careful, you may end up in the bamboo distribution business.

I'm in the middle of making and entire kitchen out of bamboo (veneer). Makes a very WILD looking kitchen but that's what she wanted. I wouldn't mind seeing the process they use to make bamboo veneer (or, as we call in our verbally challenged shop, bambeer venoo)
Go to your local hardwood flooring supplier and see if they have any bamboo flooring cutoffs. It will look a little different from the VERY NICELY MADE pen above but it's still cools stuff. Has a sweet smell when you start sanding it. You get tired of it after sanding 25 cabinet doors.
