burr

A slimline dressed in a hybrid burr from Marks box.

A few more pics that I'm finally getting time to put together and share with you guys. Recent posts have been pens and boxes that I had made previously, not back fully operational just yet so thought I would spend some time sharing my previous work. If you have seen them before, my apologies...

I know I already posted the Burr but I made another today and thought they looked good together..... Sorry for spamming :goesred: Padster

I was gifted a small piece of burr oak... SO set about finding the right kit and think this works... Padster

I got a nice wee piece of elm burr at a local auction and this is one of the first ones turned. Omega pen kit. Alan

Had this piece of London Plane Burr kicking around for ages and at last decided to use it on this Sirocco kit.

OK, so this may be stretching the boundaries of the May challenge but if I hadn't recovered the blank it would have no doubt hit the bin....:whistling: Burr Elm with Ali inlay, complete with Beech wood box with Ali inlay....

It's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would to make these pens. It's the first time I've turned Thuya burr and I found while it's a beautiful wood to look at and handle ( when finished) it's quite a waxy material. It sticks to chisels also clogs up sandpaper so so very fast anyway I...

Tried again. Burr oak and resin hybrid.

I’ve recently made this pair of TM Omega’ with Oak burr hybrid blanks made by me.

I turned a Leveche rollerball using a Brown Mallee Burr blank. I used epoxy to glue the blank to the tube and after bringing into the house for a couple of days cracks appeared along some of the burr lines. I finished it using Phil's melamine technique. Any advice to prevent this much...

Long time since I posted. Been without a workshop most of the year while I waited to build my new one. Meant to start middle of March but the world came to a standstill - well Scotland did anyway. So finally managed to get the landscapers in beginning of August. Started the workshop build...

Hey folks. Can anyone suggest a nice finishing product for London Plane Burr. This was my last purchase from Beaufort and I have finally gotten around to turning it (I've been busy with other hobbies in the meantime!) The pen is not looking too bad but would benefit from a shiny, lustrous...

I want to have a go at turning a stabilised burr blank and would appreciate any advice on finishing. I would prefer not to use CA. Thanks

Leveche pen kit from Beaufort Ink. Black ash burr.

I’ve been planning a pen set for my wife’s 30th next week for ages. I ordered the burr walnut after getting a suggestion on here for where to find some... It hadn’t arrived after far longer than expected so contacted the sender. It was returned to them yesterday in pieces, as he says, “looks...

I nice piece of Mallee burr from Phil to make this one. Size 5 Bock nib. I went with a 12mm cap thread on this one to give it a go with 10mm section thread. I will be going for a slimmer version next time as my confidence grows.

Chestnut burr I have been working on. Stained with spirit stains and a gloss finish the edge is gilded with a chemically treated brass leaf giving the edge a brass copper look some little parts show the natural edge through the guiding adding to the piece.
