This a few of the pens I got completed over the weekend. I did the blue buckeye burl cigar based on Yo-Yo's interesting shapes, several designer pens including the shown aromatic cedar pen, a bunch of slimlines including the shown afzelia burl and a couple of ligero's using Ilikewood cocobolo's and one bethlehem olivewood.
Quick question...has anyone experience cracking of JOW or BOW. I've made 6 pens out of JOW and so far 3 now have a huge gaping crack in them. While turning I notice small hairline cracks (nothing really unusual) so I filled them with CA, like I normally would, and finished them with, I think, Dougles technique of Behlens. Anyway these small little cracks have grown into a full blow faultline. There is no way to salvage...I just have to turn and finish a new 1/2 of the pen and hope that it matches the original 1/2.
