    Default Exchange student pen

    We have an exchange student visiting with us at the moment so thought I'd give her a play on the lathe. The pen is an Australiana Executive Sierra in Birdseye Huon Pine. I've found this is by far the easiest wood to teach on. I applied the CA finish and stabilised the chisel but Iori did the vast majority of the work.

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    You have taught her well. That is probably something that most exchange students wouldn't get a chance to experience. Hopefully it will be a good talking point for her when she goes back.

    Nice Job Corbs, I love the wood.

    I am sure she is going to remember your family everytime she uses or sees that pen.

    Thanks for sharing.
