Thread: More Sierras (wood ones just for skew)

Very good froggie
Andrew

Nice looking bunch of pens Froggie

Great output with excellent quality, if you show us just one or two at a time, it would not detract us from the beauty of each one, Amos

i thought you were selling the pen kits?

Thank you again for your kind words. I sell the kits but I also make and sell a lot of pens, I recently made 25 Barons that made their way to Dubai to some filthy rich oil Baron (isn't that ironic) I only make Bereas because they are the best quality pen kits on the market by a country mile, well I am yet to find anything better.

I've been slack lately, haven't turned too many pens. I envy you. Not! Batches of 25? Where's the fun in that?

I love the wood though, there's some seriously nice blanks in there.

i agree, seriously blerdy nice. i get this urge to caress them with my eyes - not fingers, because they would get in the way of looking.

Nice work Mate!
you must be as happy as a possum up a gum tree with that lot

Those Sierras of yours are smick the variety using Sassafras,Silky Oak,Manna Gum Burl,Mango,Forest oak,Tomato Stake,Blackwood,well I can imagine incredible effects using that kit,I have never made one what length of timber do you cut for these pens?

Hang on let me go and measure one, (scurries off to cupboard and rummages amongst the junk)

Hah found one, grabs rule and measures tube, tube length is a smidgen over 56mm and hole dia is done with a 27/64" drillbit

Thanks for the detail,it sure makes it competitive to build using fancy timbers two for the price of one slimline that is timber needed,no match up grain needed a home for lots of timber I have kept,almost willing to try,will make a bulk purchase one day of kits,expect a sack load of single blanks as sold to dealers in America for one ofs of aussie burl this coming week.
Great news,Thanks Peter.
