Pair of Churchills.

[Ligget]

Hi, not posted for a while so here are a couple of my latest turnings.
First up is a Desert Ironwood Churchill with gold titanium hardware, finished with CA.

Secondly is a Maple Burl Churchill with gold titanium hardware, finished with CA.

Thanks for looking and especially to those who care to comment![^]

They both look superb,Mark!
Excellent photos,as well.
I would pick the desert ironwood
as my favorite.[]

 

[GaryMGg]

What Johnny said, except I'd pick the Maple burl 'cause it's got some red that's just outstanding and all those eyes.

 

[louisbry]

Mark, both are beautiful. Photos show details quite nicely.

 

[CrazyBear]

Superb pens. I cant mae up my mind which I like best

 

[philb]

Awesome! Wish my finish was that good!

 

[skiprat]

I think both you and Marc Phillips should be banned from this site.
It is not fair that you <b>both</b> dip your pens in oil just before you get a pro photographer to take a pic[}][]

Can't wait to get back home, I'm getting Lathe Withdrawal Symptons.[xx(]

 

[drawknife]

Great Pens, I'm with Gary I think the maple is the best, why? I don't know why just is!..[]

 

[toolcrazy]

Mark, i am liking the Maple the best also. Great, as usual, Job on both though.

 

[workinforwood]

Those are beauties. I have an extra spot in my case if you want me to store that maple burl pen. []

 

[TAFFJ]

[Glenn McCullough]

Both are fantastic. Not many maple burls grab my attention as this does, though I like the DI better with this kit. Well done!

 

[Ligget]

Lovely comments, I am most humbled, thanks everyone![^]

Mark,
Superb pens!! Great Photos!! You got it down dude!!! I am having a tough time deciding which I like better. The DI is so deep and rich. The Maple has such great grain and eyes...
I haven't been a big fan of the Churchill, but with the right wood, it is the top! You hit it right on.

 

[karlkuehn]

Wow Mark, those are amazing, very classy! Nice choice of woods. I have a few Churchills waiting for me and love them, but you all have me so freaked out about breaking the nib holders that I'm scared to try one. I just ordered the closed end mandrel from Bill, so soon I'll work up the courage! Very nice work, my friend!

 

[Ligget]

Karl, these Churchills will not be sold due to the breakage problem.

If the manufactures ever produce a solution to this weak part, I will fix all my Churchills then sell them on![]

 

[drayman]

i totaly agree with all the others, WOW, fantastic, i like em both[][]
