Thread: Black Wattle Sierra

Amazing contrast between the sap/heartwood....
Very nicely crafted

like that pen kit too - timber looking awesome against the two-tone

Cheers Gabriel and Poundy. Thanks for having a look, and commenting.

Lots of variation in that blank. Almost looks like a burl.
Whatever it is I like it.

Glad you like it Dallas.
These blanks come from a small strip I trimmed off a Black Wattle slab that I was using for a door frame in my bathroom, one section of it had these little spikey clusters along the edge of the sapwood. Makes an interesting penblank.

Very sweet. Love the blank.

Cheers Moby. Hope things will start getting better up your way, you’s have had a pretty rough week.

Thanks again Brad for your generosity on sending me some timber - and this pen ! What a surprise !!!

In the flesh, it looks even better than the pictures, which is pretty dang hard to do. Just wow.

Your welcome Brett, thanks for the coffee beans, fair swap I reckon.
I just finished my first cup of the day, about to go and make another.
Had some in-laws staying with me over the weekend, they loved your coffee as well.
