Well.. late is better than belated, I guess.
Here are mine... and I'll freely admit I cheated and used different timbers. Our helpful blank donor kindly sent me a second set of blanks after I lost the first glue-ups. ( I know those mongrels are still hiding somewhere in my shed, quietly laughing at me!) But, while searching for the miscreants I put the "new" blanks safely to one side... and found several other blanks I'd totally forgotten about, so added them to the pile. With no luck in my search, I moved the pile of "found" blanks onto my blank storage shelf. So, I found some spare time, went to make the pens and... which ones? Oops.
I hate my life at the moment.
Anyways, while searching thru the blanks, I had a couple of new ideas for the theme so I simply grabbed the "most suitable" blanks for my ideas and went with the flow. [shrug]
The LH one (Hairy Oak, Mulberry, Red Mallee Burl, Osage Orange, Red-heart Peppercorn, Spalted Peppercorn, Tas Myrtle) didn't come out as I'd planned. It's a failure, theme-wise.
I'm pretty happy with the RH one though.
(Red Mallee Burl & Osage Orange)

Yes that's my preference, like the shapes, but I do like the colour mix of timbers on the other. Well done Skew.
