Its been a while since I turned anything on the lathe, since surgery I'm getting quite bit of feeling back in my left hand and finally managed to have a go at turning again.

I had an incident in the workshop :whistling:with some of the dried mimosa wood and splashed Purple spirit stain on the ones I had ready for turning.

Ended up dying the blanks fully and I think they have come out quite nice. I don't like the purple with the GP fitting though

Here they are,
Both are Pencils and finished with Melamine lacquer.
