I just finished these and thought I would post a couple pictures. I mostly turn acrylics but I've always been a wood guy at heart and love the chance to turn a nice wood blank with characther.
The first is a requested St. Louis Cardinals pen made of Ash and segmented red dyed boxelder. The logo was a sticker I bought under a clear CA finishs. The components are a black Ti and Ti gold Sierra from Exoticblanks.
The last pictures are a group of donation pens for an upcoming fundraiser that I'll be sending out for logo engraving. All of these wood blanks were saved in my personal stash that Ive been saving for something special. Here they are before the engraving....
All are on Rhodium Jr Gent II components. The first is a spalted hackberry, The second and third are Ash, The fourth and fifth are Buckeye, The sixth and seventh are Oak, the eighth is Sycamore burl and the last one is Spaulted Maple.
I bought the first seven blanks from Low48 (Rich) at the last couple Midwest Penturners Gathering. I dont know how he parts with blanks like these but I know I'll be bringing more money this year in hopes of restocking. The last two were pieces I rescued from a fire wood pile.
Thanks for all comments and Thanks Again Rich!
