My posts seem to be coming out wrong. I am unable to view photo's I upload as they are showing as attachments and I am unable to edit them. The page that shows my post is grey in colour with no headings, it has a +4 Attachments notice on the bottom right but no way of clicking on it as it is...

A Green and black ply Feels good in the hand. I don't really like it, I feel the colours are wrong for the colour of the kit. It may grow on me.

Hi pen people. I got hold of a really nice looking bit of dyed and stabilised maple and made this pen. It has sterling silver and sage green accents. The dye used was a teal colour, which is quite vivid in places, but it also has darker green hues along with the natural colour of the wood. I...

Hi new to here, Can anyone recommend how to stop colour smudging together when I'm finishing. I'm using tulipwood dryed red with light fast stain methanol based with maple stripes. 1st finish I give 2 coats of sanding sealer then 4 coats of wax but it smudges on the 1st coat. 2nd finish is ca...

My normal business is very quiet. My main customer is suffering so it affects me as well. So while I am a bit idle I got to making some stuff for a Xmas fair. I made a few plain finish bowls and decided to try something different. Got some Hampshire Sheen colours and waxes and have been trying...

Two from this weekend.... Almost completed as I want the customer to see these 'before' I get them engraved on the caps..... She has asked for 5 in various colour combinations and I want her to pick who gets what..... These are Phils diamond blanks and IMHO are stunning.... 3 more to do 'if' I...

So this pen is going to a dear friend in Florida and she love cat's I did ask her what colour she liked and Purple or blue came back. Thank you for looking C & C welcome James

Some vintage cellulose. This stuff is old and comes already drilled which isn’t so helpful, especially when wanting to make a section from it. It also comes in fairly narrow diameters so I went for a cap in a different colour, rather than making a more streamline or narrower pen all from the...

I need to put some colour into 2-part epoxy for a job. Just not a dark colour. Will food colourant work/keep its colour? Anything else I can use? Thanks Alan

Seeing as the sun is shining and while there is still a bit of colour in the garden I thought I would start this thread. Anyone else?

This one is a TM Zeta in gold and gunmetal. The wood is Zabrino with a copper pearl kirnite centre inlay. The 3 colours are blank credit type cards with the colour all the way through. The adhesive on the kirnite was epoxy and the cards was ca and the tube epoxy. The name was not my idea it was...

Really don't like this blank, had to say that first. It worked very well, but just too much for me. Good practise for though.

Hi all, I was asked to do a commission following on from viewing a set of Sirrocos I had made... customer wanted a fountain pen, from a pretubed Sirroco blank.... uhmm Well as you can see it is possible, next came the task of a colour matched cap......this is a bit of Ebonite from Phil, the...

I have posted a pen today so Bill Mooney won’t mind me posting this now :funny: I continue my trials of adding texture and colour to Woodturning using Powertex and material I welcome comments....or questions Kevin :banana:

As in the title I am after some expert advice/guidance from you experts. I bought a pack of exotic hardwood blanks when I first started to do some hand turning & there was a purpleheart blank in the mix. It had the purple colour to it & I didn't think anymore about it. My Daughter inlaw took a...

One of the family needed a vivarium so knocked this up the outside and cuts are not covered at their request as the outside will be finished in a different colour. Just one more small job to do and then it is back to me time and projects
