First time I've turned a stabilised blank. A real pleasure to work with.

Unusual Macrocarpa I like it very much, special turning and placement Derek.

Peter.
Thank you. The blank was from your part of the woods so to speak, from George's bits of timber I won it and others in one of his monthly competitions.
Cheers Derek

Very unusual colour nice and bright red does it darken with age or will it stay that vibrant. Nice pen by the way

Hi Derek
The blank is stabilised and infused with the red pigments so I imagine it should be quite stable. Time will tell!

Great looking pen Derek.
In the second picture I can definitely see two eyes and a nose. :-)
Hi and thank you. On another forum someone pointed out a dog either side of the clip. Could be a good selling point haha.
