    Default A lazy afternoon

    What the hey ...

    I was inspired by stirlos pics of his very neat kit layout ... was bored, had a coupla beers and decided that one of my fishing tackle boxes could go to better use

    Now that I look at it ... it could do with way more kits

    Also, now that the kit box is all neat n tidy, had to make a couple didnt I! . . so, below are the pics of what turned up today.

    First is silky oak burl with the mont blanc (at least I think its silky oak ... found it in the tree loppers pile of freebies)

    The other .. well, it should not have show boated the mont blanc with the burl:mad: , but it did end up doing so.

    No guesses to what that one is.

    Now I'm derpressed. [sigh]

    See a few pix of Toni's (& others) nice, shiny new Ledas... then I look at my beat up old lady. Now I see your nice, shiny mandrel, mill and bushes and can't help but compare them to my grotty old things.

    But, you know what? I still wouldn't swap any of 'em for quids!

    I like the burl pen, BTW. Would never have picked it for Silky!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Shiny mandrel is a virgin ... I bought it in a panic coz I thought I had bent my original. Well, I did .. but managed to fix it

    And lastly .. not sure if it is Silky to be honest ... was a scrounge job, and not too good at pick the species just yet. .. below is a pic of a bowl made of the same stuff. A mate reckons it looks like parmesan cheese

    Hi Rich,
    Nice pens mate, I don't think that is silky oak though, but
    whatever it is stil a nice bit of wood, hard to tell from a pic,
    but could it be white cedar.

    Identifying the timber is half the fun.

    cheers Mick

    nice pens. i like the slimline a lot. the MB looks great to.

    what is the slim made of?

    tackle box looks good ( maybe a little empty, but that can be fixed).

    cheers

    ps. the bowl is COOL.

    I also seriously doubt that it's Silky Oak. It looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

    A bloody nice grain to it, just the same!

    The slim is my famous .. erm, plywood pen.

    I dont know why, but they seem to be very popular. (Just dont say its plywood .. say its .. erm, laminated recycled timber or something)

    Get this right ... I ask SWMBO to come and have a look at them both and tell me which one she likes best .. of course, the ply pen. [shakes head]

    Oh well .. at least its cheap.

    Here's a bit of free advice: you'll find it's much easier to turn a pen on a lathe instead of a Triton WC2k...
