stabilised

My latest commission of a pair of Rhodium Mistral Rollerball & Fountain Pens dressed in blue stabilised Poplar Burr

Finally got round to turning one of Phil's Sirocco's to show off my coffee bean blanks, don't think I could have chosen a better kit for it.

What a week, and it ain't over yet! Ruined a beautiful cross-cut Yew blank and two driftwood blanks I'd stabilised and dyed :sob: Need to be more careful, methinks :thinks:

Well after all the bad news that I woke up too today, I decided to get away from it all, and locked myself in the mancave. First I set up my new table saw. Next I made a HDPE 2 blank mould ready for some casting. Next I turned a Tempest using some of Dario's poplar Burl that I had previously...

I have stabilised a few driftwood blanks and successfully made some pens, but I have a couple of questions..... In the image below, the top blank has been stabilised using Stick Fast stabilising fluid, in a vacuum pot until bubbles stop, then baked at 90c for 30 minutes. After baking, as you...

Picked this up on a beach in Wales, then stabilised. No idea what it is but it was really nice to watch it appear as I turned it!

I'm quite pleased with this, some poplar burr stabilised by my own fair hand :-) I have some that look more colourful, but this was another test piece. Not as nice as Jim's perfect specimen I know, but I still think it dresses a nice pen.

Hi All, Got some Poplar Burl from forum member Buga (Dario) from Croatia. Great guy to deal with. I stabilised a piece last week and today I wanted to see what this stuff looks like when turned. I am very happy with the results. I will get this turned into a pen one day. Poplar Burl - YouTube
