    Default Saved pen plus others

    I was turning a pen from a very brittle piece of burl when a large piece broke off.
    I had already smothered the blank with CA to reduce chipping, a tip from HazzaB, thanks Harry.
    I glued the piece back with more CA then realised that it was firmly stuck to the bushes. Got my "Stanley knife" in between the bush & timber & gently rolled it back & forth with a tad of pressure. After 2 or 3 minutes it slowly came apart. Have to remember to rub a little BLO around the bushes next time. The pen I "saved" was the York Gum Burl ?.

    HTH someone.

    Pens are L to R...Red Mallet Burl ?, York Gum Burl ?,Olive root.

    Isn't it great when we get so many different 'challenges' in pen making? Keeps it interesting.

    Nice end results.

    Well done, nice save on the York Gum Burl.
