Well that last couple of week have been a bit cold up here (just outside of Chicago).... well for you folks in NC you'd say frigid. After several trips to the hardware store for some pipe, elbows I got the old garage heater replaced. The garage is a warm 65 degrees while the outside is under 25.
So I was able to fire up the lathe and turn a few presents.
Of the 17 pens I turned I think the Osage Orange Cigar Pen looks great. I like the coloration and the nice tight grain.
I also turn Paduak for the first time and like the way they look as well.
Well, I am going to be busy getting ready for the family coming over on Christmas Eve so I want to pass on my wishes for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all of you here at North Carolina Woodworkers.
