    Default Needed Something

    These three pens were originally finished some time ago. I do not have any photos how they originally looked like but basically very plain.

    Last weekend I finally got around to taking them apart, put them back on the lathe and sanded the finish off. I then added some black/green dye and left them on the bench for a week until i got back into the shed. I sanded them and applied some finish.

    Now you are able to see the grain a little bit better.

    Its a bit hard to see in the photos but I think they would have been better left as natural timber.
