sirocco

Here are todays efforts dark coloured blank from Pen Moulds and Blanks and the yellow blank from else where but I can't remember. Only difference with these after sanding with micro mesh to 12000 I applied a coat of Microcrystalline wax, then buffed with a soft cloth.

This is the first single tube pen that I have made, going to be keeping this for myself! Pat

The little girl next door found a shed antler earlier in the spring and asked if I would make a pen for her. I really liked the copper Sirocco with the antler. She is a happy little girl!

Here's a TM Omega in Gold with African Blackwood finished with Melamine and Carnauba Wax and here's a Beaufort Sirocco in Black with an unknown wood finished with Melamine and Carnauba Wax.

Been a while but had a good day in the shed today first off the lathe was this Sirocco.

Hi all, my first post for a long, long time - hope you like the Sirocco - first time turning one and I do think it's a nice kit.:thumbs:

Here is the other half of the wedding gift again using a Sirocco, this time using Cocobolo wood blank, read this wood is found in Mexico and the wedding took place their so thought it would be relevent.

My first attempt at a Sirocco and using a blank supplied by Paul from Pen Blanks and Moulds, really happy how it turned and still have half a blank left bonus!! This one has already been gifted as part of a wedding present.

I made a Sirocco ballpoint in cross-cut Zebrano last year, and the guy who bought it asked if I could make a matching pencil. Thanks to Phil, I was able to respond in the positive! Finished with melamine, I was quite pleased with the result.

A Sirocco in gold/gunmetal using a MARLA (MILLS) CHRISTENSEN, RIngneck pheasant with silver pheasant background blank. Nice to turn and finished with micro mesh and Microcrystalline wax. Dave

Here's a brushed copper Sirocco in Jarrah Burl. I wanted to visually tie the kit into the blank, so I inlaid a metallic bronze band into the wood. To put a bronze/copper/orange colour into the wood itself, the pen seems more complete, a whole item. The Jarrah is beautiful to work, so dense and...

This is a gunmetal chrome Sirocco, with a Rhino Plastics 'Earth's Core' polyester blank. I really, really enjoyed making this one. I finally had a chance to make a day to day pen for myself :) The colours shimmer beautiful when the pen is moved, really dancing in the light. Karl

A day early this week for obvious reasons.... This week's Pen of the Week is chosen by Bill Mooney and goes to "A Special Sirocco" by Bammer Bill said "I can’t imagine the work which went into making this blank, it is a beauty. This plus the fit, finish & sentiment make it my choice. It was a...

Here's another Sirocco. Black one this time. This was a good lesson for me in choosing blanks. The blank I picked was very dark and gloomy, just glimmers of red in there. I thought it would go well with the black Sirocco. When I turned it, it really brightened up. Polished up, it looks...

I really love the Sirocco kit. I've made a few now, and thought I'd try the brushed pewter kit. I paired it with a polyester resin 'opal' blank. The pic doesn't do it justice, the subtle rainbow colours in the resin are fantastic. This for a female friend for Xmas. Karl

Beaufort Sirocco gold and gunmetal ballpoint pen in burr elm. Finished with Chestnut melamine lacquer.

Gunmetal/Chrome Sirocco dressed in Indian Rosewood. No finish applied, just buffed with soft cloth to a natural sheen. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the combination works.

Hi all.....i'm here again....in the wood section.... This is a Kallenshan Piano kit on a new plated Sirocco... I think its another winner Phil!!
