A friend gave me some scrap sinker cypress he had left over from some 3/4" Sinker Cypress he used to side his barn/shop. For a while, I was just turning straight line, cylindrical, pens; then I was messing with a chunk to to practice with some chisels on my lathe. I made some beads, convexes and concaves and that wood took on a totally different look from the straight cylindrical turnings I had been doing on the pens. Decided to try on a pen blank from the cypress and I really like it.
