    Default TorquoiseTru Stone Churchill Pair

    OK, finally got back to making some, have been rearranging my shed and some cleaning. The TruStone is from TimberBits and the Churchills from Addictive. This TruStone was HARD indeed and did blunt the tool easily and quickly, some disatisfaction on my skills and hope to improve next tround. Overall they are fairly attractive, well at least SWMBO likes them, so who can argue!, meanwhile up to you for comments, Amos PS one of the blanks has red and orange spots, they are not as noticeable in presence as compared to the close up photo.

    They make a nicely matched pair Amos

    Like that Turquoise Truestone and on the bigger kit like the Churchill it really shows off the pattern, well done.

    Nice pair there Amos, not a kit I have turned yet but should add it to my repertoire.
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Hi Amos

    Great looking set of pens!

    You did a fabulous pen with the blanks. I am glad they went to a worthy home.

    Very nice work as usual, Amos.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    Looks great, even if it is Truestone

    I hope to try my first churchill this weekend. Hopefully I've got a burl blank big enough, otherwise it'll be another custom resin.
