Some pencils and a cast coastal banksia
Had a day off from the markets yesterday (5th sunday of the month
) so what do I do on a day off , Make some pencils and a cast banksia from Neil (dai sensei)
Also borrowed his light tent this evening to take the photo Thanks again Neil 
One is a deluxe w/shop pencil in buckeye burl ,one is supposedly Tas blackwood ,seems a bit light to me , and the other is "camelthorn" looks almost like wenge except tan and dark brown highlights , the last is a coastal banksia on a sierra vista ! courtesy of Neil , cheers ~ JohnG'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

The 3rd one looks more like Blackwood than the second. Sure you didn't mix them up?
BEB always looks great. Mus have been a big piece to fit on that fat pencil though.

Re: Some pencils and a cast coastal banksia
They all look fantastic John !. I guess the finish is CA on the timber pens ?. I've yet to make pencil pens. Really nice work mate.

Yep all these have a CA finish ,not a thick heavy coating ,just enough to seal and protect. Originally Posted by Pariss
