A couple more Burl Pens
These lot are a few Sierras from Timberbits that I have done recently, All are given arount 15 coats of CA then wet sanded 1200g w&d then MM through the grades,
Thanks for looking, comments / critique most welcome
First 2 pics are of what I believe to be Brown Mallee Burl,

These next 2 are Red Mallee Burl

These 3 Pics are of my favourite a Red Coolibah Burl, it even looks like it has a little bit of birds eye in it,

Very nice.
That is a very nice array of pens.
Do love burls but for some reason most blow up on me.

More nice work Ben that red coolibah is a great timber, not over keen on that background for the pics though.

Thanks Rumnut,
The photos and the backround are a case of just making do, it was taken with my phone on just a black tarp I have outside which is all i have ATM, i will get into the photo side of things once i get a bit more time and a camera worth using
Cheers Ben
Thanks Cookie,
I have only done a few but i have found that if i see the slightest mark in them i fill it with CA, I even turn them round and give a good coat of CA let it dry then turn it down some more if they have a few cracks in them, takes a bit longer but i think the results are worth it
Cheers Ben

You are certainly getting there Ben. Just spend a little more time on squaring off the blanks before you assemble the pens and it will get rid of the slight lifts of CA and the gaps between blanks and fittings. It only takes a very short time to do it. More than happy to point you in the direction of previous threads on final squaring off blanks.
Great work - keep it up
