Ian

Fine pen you have there.

The grain on the timber is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing.

Timberbits.

I can't see it that well Allan could you post it up for further scrutiny.

Like it lots that wood is very interesting did you have to turn it in the vertical position or just lay down as you do normally.

Thanks for your kind replies.

Ozkaban: The finish was three coats Shellawax and two Glow.
Sanding went up to 1,200 grit.
Held the polish well - very smooth finish.

Wheelin: Horizontal wood turned horizontally - did not want
to upset the grain.

Allan

very nice beautiful grain
am thinking isn't all timber laying flat horizontal

Allan don't trust WheelinRound he might nick it, send it to me I will do it! mighty nice pen Amos

I thought this was going to be a joke but no it is a very nice pen> love that grain well done

Great looking piece of timber with an interesting color and grain.
Well done.

Top blank and a nice pen!!

Tried to get some Horizontal last time I was in Tassie. Failed!

Nice work looks good Allan

Very nice Allan, I like that timber. I was lucky enough to purchase some from the wood show in Qld a few years back

Thanks for your replies fellas.

Sam, I had not heard of it before a week or so ago then
one of our members threw a couple of sticks of it onto
the table.

About six of us got enough to make a pen each and
another got the leftover bits for his miniature work.

I must keep an eye out for more of it in future.

Very nice Allan, great grain well done
