From the deck of HMAS Moresby
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
i have been asked to turn these 22 gold sierras, and was given a suitable amount of teak for the job. The teak allegedly came from the deck of HMAS Moresby. Not sure who or what these pens are destined for, but the teak came up very nicely.
cheers
Willy

Interesting bit of Teak, nice grain, plus a good story to go with it.

Morning Willy I never had much fun with Teak but you managed to get a decent order using special timber . Like the pen, well done.

Sanded and polished to 5000 grit

Teak
I was talking to a mate last night about the pens. He was also on the HMAS Moresby, so I have promised him a pen. He was amazed that I had been given the teak as he said when it was being ripped up in long lengths it was grabbed by all and sundry. Apparently the teak hadn't been down for very long and was in very good condition
Cheers
Willy
