[killerbeast]

havent had much time to post this during the christmas days but here goes ..

scarfholders hair thingies. Made from Cherry and "palisander"

pens are cocobolo, ambrosia, European set
birch mansur "thuja" neck less pens
bog oak (black with gold slim)
teachers are Cuba mahogoni curly maple "palisander"
tops are cherry and "akacie" Mabye its wattle

accesories are "palisander" cuba mahogonie and Elm burl..

i have also done some rough turning and some other small stuff. (not enough hehe)

i had the pleasure of showing a friend of mine the wonders of the great vortex in the shed.. He´s down with severe stress and havent been able to work for 3 months. but a good case of beers and some time turning was balm for the sole. i showed him how to make his own pen and we did som other small stuff. it was great...


comment´s and suggestions are more than welcome...

Have a very very good newyear...........

nice peices mate:2tsup:...the double ended pen looks interesting.might have to borrow that idea:cool:

[killerbeast]

yep teaches pen one black and one red. my mother has been teaching for more than 30 years so it was the obvious gift for her. Its a pennstate kit.

[ss_11000]

so is it a specialised kit or just two half slimlines sharing a top tube?

[killerbeast]

thees are kits but you could do it with loose parts. insterst are short to make room for the 2 insterst.

i think it´s called pk teach www.pennstate.com

Good Work!


Those Scarfholders give me an idea...

[Tornatus]

Excellent work, Rasmus! I was particularly pleased to see what you call "scarfholders" - as I'm sure you realise, that design is truly ancient, and was shared by your Viking and my Irish ancestors, who most commonly used such brooches to pin their cloaks together at the shoulder.

Great work Rasmus

You have been very busy. First time i have actually seen someone make a teachers pen, they look interesting

Like all your other nick knacks as well:2tsup::2tsup:
