OLIVE HEX

[PenPal]

Years ago I was given a disused Olive Grove a few hrs away from where I live. It was totally polled at eight feet and had not been watered for years. It was planted nearly 70 yrs ago.

Brought back a trailer load and cut into lengths, the grain was fleeting or beaut this is the latter.

G'Day, Peter, the finished pen is wonderful. I love the hex profile, and the grain is beautiful; you chose an excellent timber.

I also suspect if you have the energy and interest, some pen blanks from your "stash" would do very well in the marketplace. :tongue:

Cheers, Mark

Great score on the wood and a beautiful pen. I agree the hex makes this pen awesome.

Very nicely done. You achieved that perfect hex with a router? Table saw? Miracle?

Very nicely figured olivewood.
