    Sweet pen Peter. The cross grain really shows the nature of the timber.

    Peter I think we have mentioned our mutual thirst for this timber and your pen really shows that well done

    not sure about the mixed grain directions

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    Cool Got me thinking...

    I really like the idea of mixing the grains. Looks simple but I have a feeling there's a bit of talent involved in choosing the blanks. I'm gonna try it anyway. Thanks for the idea.

    Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
