I finally managed to get a pen turned. I bought this kit Months ago to make a pen for myself. I had one bit of spalted beech left that looked like it would turn well. Very impressed with the kit. I wasn't sure a high gloss finish would show the wood at it's best so I opted for 3 thin coats...

Having taken advice from this forum and after my lesson with Mr mooney, I have spent the last few weeks, practising the art of sharpening a tool properly!!! I put some wood between centres and turned the RPM's up to 3100 (nearly twice the speed I was turning at). The result was some what...

My First attempt at this sort of pen. Gradually expanding my horizons. I used a lovely blank of spalted beech and The Cassic Elite Fountain Pen Kit. I had to turn off 1/8" from the top blank. I fond I didn't have a parting tool small enough to do this job. A quick hunt around my carving tools...

Got a lovely piece of spalted alder and was asked to turn a pen as payment. It was a bit of a pig, quite soft but I am quite happy with the result. There are bits I need to improve on but its early days.

Here is another box but this time in Spalted Beech. With Emperor in to show size.. This matches so well I may even make this a pair..:thinks:

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.
