    Default 18-5-12 Last Week & This Week Pens

    Last week we made a Cigar Pen out of a timber that we can't remember but it was very porous and did not take the finish very well. Didn't have time to post it.

    This week we made a Sierra with a piece of Olive Wood that was donated by Benholio that came up a treat.

    The Timber in the Cigar is Rosegum. Consider it too porous and soft for a good finish with Shellawax.
