Hi everyone,
Most will know that, I come up sometimes with some "strange" pen blanks that, can be considered also of great rarity and beauty, quite often a 1 off thing...!
However, and in the name of "knowledge gathering" and" wood identification" skills/ability, I would like to show you all, 3 different pen blanks turned and finished as samples as normal.
There are no added colours and or any other artificial material(s) over the samples surfaces, apart from my normal CA finish (approx. 10 coats) and a black marker I used to paint black the gaps of the first sample where I used the 2 barrel turning system so, can you identify the 3 woods...???
The first one that gets it right, will get a 250gr parcel with 1 of each sent free of charge (freight on me...!):biggrin::wink:
The names of these woods are all part of my "timbers list" attached for guidance only so, that should help.
I will accept either the species name or the species number as per my timbers list so good luck...!
Did someone say that we learn something every day...??? well, here we go...!:wink:
Cheers
George
