New Guinea Rosewood Burl Rollerballs
These are the other two pens I made today whilst soaking up the pleasure of being back in the workshop
Boy its amazing how you miss it when you do not get in there for a week or two!!
These kits were from David at Timberbits and the NG Rosewood burl was a couple of blanks from my stash of many NGR blanks purchased from Trevor at TG Creations with the best yet to come
The timber is very nice and like I said these were not from the better blanks I have.
Thanks for looking.
Tony.

First time I have seen PNG Rosewood burl. It looks a lot classier than the standard PNG RW. Well made. They look great

Got to agree with the other comments about the burl, very unexpected, nice work, looks great.

Ian"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.. it can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"
