    Default Todays Effort grrrrrrr

    Well today went so-so.

    4 done. 1 dead, one on life support. During surgery I ended up with 2 fingers glued together and foot glued to Japanese Safety boot!
    Thank goodness for the bottle with the word Remover after Glue.

    Anyway pics below
    2 Under & Over Shottie Pens, Spalted Elm Burl & Jim Beam Oak (photo for JB one doesnt show the grain matching but it does)
    1 Sierra Stylus & plain Sierra.

    Cheers

    Shawn

    Really nice resulting pens. But I think you should've taken a pic of you trying to get a glued on boot off with glued together fingers.

    Nice work I can understand gluing your fingers together (try the cheap Aldi gloves to overcome it), but how do you glue your foot to a shoe. I could only do that after 10 cans of the best.

    Nothing so fancy Amos. Just taken on the coffee table with 4 pieces of A4 paper. 2 underneath the needle file holder (background) one standing up against the tripod legs to stop my reflection and then one held over top to even out the light. Works well for zero $ spend

    The camera is a Olympus FE-110 5MP Point & shoot. Really need to upgrade but really really need a job first.

    Thanks

    Shawn
