    Default Turning some of Neil's (dai sensei) blanks

    I got quite a few blanks from Neil some time ago and finally got around to turning some of them. The ones I picked at the time were different to the norm, some being cast and others stabilised.
    C&C welcome.

    Stabilized Maple and resin on a Sedona kit

    Stabilized Red Ash with what I assume is some die on a Sierra kit

    Budgeroo and resin on a Slimline stylus kit

    Sheoak seed pods and resin on a Streamline kit

    This last one is one that I cast myself. I am not sure if I have named it correctly as the blank said Coolabah burl, but I didn't think they normally had gum veins. Appreciate it if anyone can confirm or correct me.

    Has been a while but I have used up a few previously. I really like the effect of the Red Ash blank.

    I seam to remember having both blue and red dye stabilised blanks. Have no idea if I have any left, could be hidden away some where

    Your photos certainly show the pens off well

    When I saw it in the the photo I also thought it looked like Tiger Myrtle too but the dark features are actually gum veins rather than dark markings in the grain.
