    Default Slowly coming out of the winter blues

    Spring is certainly in the air and I'm starting to once again get enthusiastic about turning!!

    Here are a few I've finished in the last little while. Whilst only one is solid timber (conkerberry) the rest are me trying to get the hang of megapoxy as a resin instead of Barnes clariti. They are very different in properties whilst both being epoxy resin. It's a fun journey to learn, but when time is minimal I just want good results dammit!!

    And sometimes you just need to treat yourself to a Mik blank.....in my opinion, they're awesome!!

    As I'm finding my mojo again hopefully I get a few more posted up here more regularly

    Cheers all

    You have certainly got your mojo back that's for sure. A great lot of casting there and the MIK blank looks tops.
    Keep them coming.

    Some great looking pens there Gab
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Good lookin bunch there Gab. I can’t pick a favourite as all are nice, though I am partial to a nice bit of Conkerberry, and that’s a nice bit.
    I would be interested to hear how the different epoxies go.

    Wow Gab, you certainly have found new way to impress. They are all fantastic, and dramatic. Stunners
    Of course I have a propensity for the more woody ones eg #5 and #6 the conkerberry,

    Keep that mojo workin' and show us more please.
