Getting ready for a show at the local Mall next weekend... haven't heard for sure that I've been accepted, but they have asked me several times to participate, so decided to this year... It's inside the mall and runs from 10 am to 9 pm... going to be a loooooong day. Can't let Dianne go with me as she'd never last all day with her back and such hurting the way they do... she'll stay home and maybe Ed, my step son, will be home for that weekend... He's a long haul driver and has just switched companies, and they seem more concerned about their drivers than his previous company... he's asked for the weekend, so maybe he'll be here...I won't have any pens at the show, I don't make pens much anymore, just pepper mills, bowls and wine glasses, plus a few other things....
These are the latest mills.. they are all crush grind mills and range from 8 to 10 inches tall, all finished with two coats of Old Masters Sanding sealer and 3 or 4 coats of Minwax Wipe on Poly....
1. Spalted Hackberry, 2. Spectraply Red Rider & Curly Maple,
3. Spectraply Camo Supreme and IPE, 4. Spectraply Royal Camo and Maple, 5. Spectraply Winewood, Purpleheart and Maple, 6. Maple, cocobolo and Brazilian Ebony over an Red Oak core, 7., Greenheart Poplar with a knot hole on one side (not shown) partially filled with brass filings and 8. Ash, Maple, Purpleheart, Spectraply Winewood and Brazilian Ebony.
I did all the glue ups... Nrs 2 and 4 didn't quite come out like I envisioned, but still look pretty cool with all the stripes running across each other.
