My First Gloat!!!

[AlexL]

Hi, I got to meet Rocker the other day with my Dad and he gave me a BUNCH of wood scraps perfect for pen blanks!

I did say there was a bunch right?

I got some mahogany...

walnut...

wenge...

some really cool maple...

and even oak!

Rocker also gave me a great dust hood for my lathe

Now I can spend more time turning pens and less time cleaning the shop!

Thanks John (Rocker)

Most excellent! That is a LOT of wood!!

 

[Bas]

Wow! Nice haul! That's scrap??!?? Man I'm cheap....looks like perfectly functional wood to me

Of course, first order of business is to build a rack for all that "scrap"!

WOW, now that is a GLOAT, and pictures to boot. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap
Methinks that you will be set for pen blanks for quite a while. I see some stock in there that would be great for bowl turning...willing to slip a little father down the slope :laughing7:laughing7

A segmented pen? Has that been done by someone on here?

Nice haul, Alex! You should have enough pen blanks to last at least a few days:new_shock.

John was generous in sharing his "scraps" with you. Be sure to "pay it forward" if you ever get the chance.

Now get busy turning those pens!!!:rolf:

Excellent score!!!!

Alex,

Nice score, but I think you may have enough wood there to make something other than pens:lol:. Either way, good luck with it.

Nice score Alex! You'll have enough to make a LOT of pens! Try making some laminated blanks.
