    Default Some of this weeks output !

    The first is a "Lotus" from GPW been itching to do one of these for a while ,It's dressed in "Jichimu" to the best of my knowledge, I am a trusting soul ! hehe. This is off to the UK next week to Complement a "Black coral" Majestic I did some time ago





    Next is 10 Bullet pens (one of which has had the bullet replaced since the photo) black marks showed up under the powder coating which was not there when assembled
    From the left ,Beefwood, 2 she-oaks,2 white wattles ,another Beefwood, and 4 camos acrylics



    The next 2 are Australiana Sierras A lacy she-oak and a spalted Silver wattle root ,which was mine from the moment I got it turned to round hehe.




    All were finished with a mix of "Glow,and BLO and sealed with thin CA ,all have a nice shiny finish but Photo was taken in shade to allow the wood to be seen better ! Still not up to par on Photos , I did some Cigars ,and Euros,and elegant Sierras as well but think I have taken enough space for one day hehe, Market day tomorrow so early night for me , Cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    Boy you have been busy.
    That is a fine lot I think my favorite is the silver wattle.

    I like the look of the Lotus kits they are on my wish list

    Thumbs up

    Beautiful collection John.

    The Lotus is classy but the Silver Wattle root is a standout.

    Nice work John

    Not sure about the Lotus seems a bit to gaudy but thats my opinion I went for the Bamboo pen style.

    The silver ash is the standout in the crowd, you have been very busy.

    Hey John,

    That is a beaut array of Pens, The Silver Wattle is 'Outstanding', where can I get me some of that. You are right it wouldn't leave my hand if I got hold of it.

    Good luck at the Markets today

    I like the lot, was impressed with the gold Lotus, I have made one Lotus and I think it has to appeal to a certain type of person as they seem to be heavy with decoration. Amos

    Great job mate.

    Sure the silver wattle looks nice, but I reckon the white wattle looks pretty spiffy too.

    So the CA sticks OK to the glow finish? I was worried it might not adhere properly so I haven't tried that yet. If it works though, may be a good compromise between an easy, nice Shellawax finish, and a durable CA finish.

    Nice work
    I like all the wattles
    Thought I saw an eagles head in the sierra (second pic) - but son thought it might have been a camel

    Nice work John. I like them all but the white wattle looks really nice.
    Reality is no background music.

    Unfortunately I only got 2 bits in the mail to try from "George" in SA. he sent a couple off to Canada as well ,but says no more available unless he can dig up another root that is useable .So will be "hoarding " the other for a special occasion hehe. Cheers John
