ash

I was going to colour this one but didn't have the heart. I think the wood is Ash. I quite like this one; plain but strangly inviting. Cheers Frederick

My first pens, having been woodturning for a while. I made them both out of elm burr. The blue one is a ProKraft Byron and the other is a Beaufort Ink mistral. I’ve applied a CA finish and I need to improve my technique, but I think that will come with practice. Ash

Thought I would have another go at a piece of turning found what appeared to be a plain piece of ash in the woodpile, pleased with what I found inside. Finished with sander sealer and then put on my buffing system, I did add a coat of woodwax22 on top of that

Nice piece of Ash, turned a few weeks ago, finished with oil. Diameter is 195mm, 30mm internal depth. Split runs through to the back and is just visible in the bottom of the bowl. Must have been a very stressed tree! As always, C&C please. Thanks, Chriscb

Took a day of from pens today and knocked this little Ash bowl up to auction tonight for our veterans

A last minute request from a colleague!!! In the post tomorrow just in time for Christmas. A fat slimline dressed in ash from a cricket bail. Finished using melamine as instructed by Phil Dart. Regards Craig

Just sprayed with Lacquer and yet to decide on a base. Turned on 3 centres. Turkey Oak stained red with an Ebony button. Ash veneer, Sycamore, and a twig sprayed green for the stem and leaf.

I honestly can't remember the last time I turned a pen. This summer has been crazy. The blank is 1 of 5 made by a friend. The wood is actually bark from an Ash. The wood is nicely rippled but this bark is amazing. The ripple transmitted to the bark. The pen is an old Washington roller ball...

Evening all, Inherited some wood from a retiring turner and i'm not convinced of some of his wood id's.Attached re some shots of one log that he's called Wych Elm, but it looks like Ash -all be it darker than I've seen before. Any thoughts? Thanks. Chriscb

Three more slimline pens,. The first one is xcut oak. The second is an unknown xcut timber The third is ash. All finished in melamine.

Getting ready to do a turning demo and was going to take the rough turned piece to work on so in preparation I started by returning the tenon and just take enough off to take out any wobble but found that it was tearing out something terrible so decided to complete it and find another one to...

Morning all A little trinket box out of a bit of ash, made in the style of one of George Watkins styles, size is 3" tall by just under 3" diameter c&c welcome cheers Andy

Here's a stabilised cross-cut, spalted ash Shakespeare, finished in melamine. Blank from Brad and it's got to be the easiest cross-cut I've done, issues with the others I've tried have been chipping/breaking out, I don't think they were stabilised though, like this one.

Found a spare lump of wood which I think is ash yesterday and spun a small bowl.
