turned

You have seen the pen before, but searching for something else I found this. I really hated that black final so I turned up a new one.

Todays question is about Ebony. I have a small amount of Ebony that was kindly donated to me, It arrived full of tears (or is it tares?) that I have cut away and I am left with enough blanks to do 2 x Slimline and 2 x any pen type. So that leaves me very little room to make pens out of them in...

This is a Cyclone from Phil's stable and the first one that I turned. Amboyna with (shudder ) some acrylic.

Here's a pen I turned from one of the Ukraine fundraiser blanks. It took me about 4 times as long to make as they ever used to, but I did manage not cock it up.:banana:

Had a nice little session this morning with a Yew log and a bit of 4” x4”

Phew. That was lucky! Another foot to the left and we'd have had a roof to mend. As it turned out, just a bit of guttering and a couple of slates.

Three pens turned from different parts of the horn.

Zoe,s Place is a Children's Charity local to me. I made some pens for them to raffle. I did the same last year. I used some of Pauls blanks. (Pen Blanks and moulds) They turned and polished really well. I will try and get some pictures photography is not my strong point. Middlesbrough -...

Had a few min spare before dinner so popped out and turned this little beauty finished with sanding sealer and spray lacquer

One of my very few entries into the 'Acrylic Turned Pens' category......mainly because I didnt turn it. This is a joint effort. Curly 's wife Marla prepared the blank flexi turned it Phil Dart supplied the kit I only had to assemble it ( the easy bit )

I was asked to make a bowl as a retirement present for the outgoing Chairman of Blind Veterans UK. & our own Neil Lawton kindly donated an elm burr. The bowl is 12”” diameter x 4” deep & is finished with sanding sealer & microcrystalline wax. It was a challenge as I hadn’t turned a bowl I over 2...

Hi all, A word to the wise, I am a manual worker in my daily job, I am a carpenter at a school. Whilst in a rush to do something today I should have used a vice to hold it, instead I held it in my left hand and when I applied toooo much pressure to the 01phillips screwdriver in my right hand it...

I have to just refer to this as a "critter" so my apologies to anyone who doesn't like Americanisms. :ciggrin: I started off to carve a bear but decided I'd rather do a badger however I got lost in the middle and it turned out more like a rodent so I gave up. My missus likes it but she hasn't a...

Off centre Whitebeam turned green, outside turned, reversed, went for a short walk, then turned inside. 5" x 2 1/2", rim varies 1/8th to 1/4".

Pen No 4 this year. I received this pen blank in a swap on the PNPTA forum. It was plain pink on the outside and pink not being my favourite colour it spent a lot of years floating around in my blank storage. When I turned it, I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately I cant find the off cut to...
