Thread: Blackwood Pen Blanks

Last lot have gone to Barry_White

Used a couple yesterday and they turned a treat, DJ. Are they a bit green?

Most BW I've turned in the past has been a bit "iffy" off the tool but these came out really nice...

Good to hear they turned up a treat.

They should be dry, I resawed them out of a bigger block that was cut at least 5 or 10 yrs ago, can't be sure on this as I got them off a local farmer who had them in his shed and he said that anything in the shed was cut at least five yrs ago.

Wheres the pictures?

Already gone, mate. The new owner was watching over my shoulder as I worked.

(Sometimes I really miss the curlies flying over the shoulder when doing pens... )

Thanks DJ the parcel arrived late this afternoon, they look nice dont know when I will get around to doing anything with them, too many other projects on the plate.

Mine also arrived then to, must have pass each other at the midway point
