TigerWood cross cut-not the golfer dude!

[Trux]

Scraps from another project I was working on- Tigerwood (goncalo alves) on a apprentice jr. gent.

 

[witz1976]

Wow I like that a lot!

 

[aggromere]

Wow, it looks great.

 

[Jim Smith]

WOW! I really like that pen. Beautiful wood with a very different look crosscut. Thanks for sharing.

I agree Wow. Very nice pen.

 

[jimm1]

Holy $^&$@. That's awesome.

 

[David Keller]

Very nice... That can be a bit tricky to turn crosscut, but you've done a great job with it.

 

[erbymcbrayer]

Great job, beautiful pen. You have ispired me to do better.

 

[Jim15]

That's an awesome pen.

 

[gr8danish]

VERY nice... that sort of reminds me of the "leather" pen that was just posted not too long ago...

 

[PaulDoug]

I agree, reminds me of the leather pen, only prettier. Nice work.

 

[Penl8the]

That is one beautiful pen. Where did you get the blank, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Trux]

Home made--I cut it off the end of a board I'm using for another project- I've used this wood before on pens and they look OK cut with the grain but this one had so much figure I went with the cross cut- it does have that leather pen appearance. Thanks all.

 

[Rfturner]

great job on it it looks amazing

 

[phillywood]

David, that's beautiful pen. Like David keller said was that hard to turn on the cross cut?

 

[ldb2000]

Great looking pen , the crosscut wood looks fantastic .

 

[Trux]

This piece of tigerwood has some really tight grain so turning it with the cross cut was not much different than a with the grain piece- I just made sure my tools were sharp and went slowly once I got the blank rounded over.

Nice looking pen. I have a solidcore door cutoff that I want to try turning into a pen

 

[wizard]

I've never seen that wood before. You made one heck of a beautiful pen from it.

 

[workinforwood]

That looks really great crosscut like that. I do hope there won't be any movement having the grain completely turned like that...if it shrinks a hair you will see the tubes between the wood and the parts maybe? Hard to say. That's gotta be a bugger to spin right on the end grain...well done!!

 

[Laurenr]

Wow, that is some beautiful wood! Great job making it look even better.

 

[jasontg99]

Beautiful pen. I need to go look for some of that wood.
