My competition entry, love this pen the figuring has so many faces looking back at you.
This is the first time I have turned a stabilised blank. Do they always smell so strong when working them?
Got in trouble as I work in the garage and it is connected to the house, even with the garage door open it was strong.

I was very impressed with the completion entries it inspires me to keep pushing myself. Might have to try some plastic soon :thinks:

Handsome pen David I understand turning stabilised timber you were virtually turning plastic at this time so you are practiced already. No doubt at all your pen will have a noble place in your home.
