Good Combination
Hi
Youve got the right combination. I've done a few of the same pen but have been struggling to find the right timber - pen combo. The first was tiger myrtle .. Too dark .. And then I tried a few acrylics ... Good result but I really wanted timber ..
Where can I get Yew ? I'm in Qld ?

Yep these are popular with most folk, I tend to use deer horn ,water buffalo , and camo blanks , but a nice piece of birdseye huon is also attractive Yew is a bit scarce around these parts ,but also looks attractive ,nice work cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Thank you all. Luckily we have plenty of yew here yesterday a friend turned up with a 14" diameter and 1 1/2" thick piece with some lovely grain and said could I make something from it.
I also have used Antler as I get a free supply from the local Zoo another friend works there.
Some one gave me this kit to try it was just a case of trying to find a wood that would match the dark gunmetal colour and a darker wood just did not look right in my eyes
I have had a good week with different people turning up with woodturning gifts not something that happens a lot but much appriciated

I was given this one to try. But I know of two suppliers one is PSI in America and the other is your side of the world from Timberbits.
Have a look HERE
