The Dark side

I got as part of a deal 12 African Ebony blanks he had bought them 20 years ago didnt like pen turning . Never used it before so thought do a cheapo and the top first. Well finished in looked great. So let's put a silver and white Celtic on the bottom. My favourite at the moment as I have not long finished my bandsaw jig.
I will now save it for better jobs

Very nice looking pen, your Celtic knot really add to the design of the pen.

Nice job. Ebony is nice looking but it's not one of my favorites to work with , especially when it comes to finishing it. I can do it, just don't like having too. [emoji12]

Thanks
Yeah I agree not easy to work, this is the first time using it so quite pleased. The blanks are a bit small only 15mm sq which dont help.

Beautiful pen Richard. Now you're going to be tortured deciding where / when to use the remaining blanks...
