From the new shed
My niece is getting married this Saturday so these are the pens the first from the new shed.
The box is from David and I did some wedding stuff on it, The kits are also from David and I think they make great wedding pens.
The Alternate Ivory is from Australian Woodcraft and the Australian ebony is from Sundowner, many thanks Graham the ebony is magnificent. It will be interesting to see what the one with the sapwood looks like. The ebony is the darkest timber I have ever turned and it was beautiful to work with.
The Alt Ivory is sanded to 12kmm, then micromesh polish and then PlastX. The ebony was sandedd to 12kmm, 20 + coats of WOP and MM and Plastx.
Extremely happy with the way they have come out the pictures do not do them justice.
Hope to get some better pic's tomorrow
The alt ivory was soprayed with classic cream before fitting

Beautifully presented wedding set Sam, great presentation
Also fantastic to hear that you have been using the new shed, and that the foot has allowed you to do some turning.
A great result for you all round and I'm sure the happy couple will be over the moon.

Way to go Sam
Just limping back chest wise myself it is nice to to see you clawing your way back, that song Ebony and Ivory stark contrasts in the pens with that lovely box from David. Soon I will not be able to remember clearly where I bought what from whom however I have many plans for some tons of stash going fast.
Regards Peter.

Great pair of pens Sam!
Can't believe how black the Ebony has turned up.
I am sure the bride and groom will be very happy with those pens.
Thanks for sharing.

Great work Sam.
Makes me wonder just how good you will be with
more practice in the shed.
