My results today....

I made some sawdust today on the lathe.

LR: Curly Maple/Walnut, Bocote, Canary Wood, QS Sycamore and Canary wood.

I love the segmented one. I wish I could see the QS Sickymore better, I have a few blanks of that. Need the insipration to turn them :icon_thum

Dave, does this help?

It might have shown even more grain if I had cut it on the bias.

 

[DaveO]

Yes, that's a much better pic. As I have been told on pen turning forums, if you're going to show a pen, and want critique, praise or what-not you need to show the pen so folks can see it. Great picture, you should shoot them all individually like that so they can be appreciated.
I've turned Lacewood (a real PITA) and it doesn't look much different than that, I am sure that was pretty easy to turn.

Nice looking pens. Looks like you're really getting into turning.

 

[woodArtz]

Great work! I like 'em all, but the sycamore is especially nice. Keep 'em coming. :icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum

 

[cskipper]

Quite a productive day! I believe Eagle also suggested not only photographing each pen indificually, but not to include anything else in the photo so the focus is solely on the pen.

Nice looking pens there Dolan, you have been much more productive on the gw lathe than I was, obviously a deserving home.

 

[Gary G]

Very nice work on all of them.

 

[TBone]

Very nice looking pens. I'm partial to the Bocote and the segmented one.

 

[P Crews]

Dolan,

Nice job on the pens. :eusa_clap I like the Bocote also. I like turning Bocote because you get some neat grain patterns and it has a unique smell.
