Today's Pens
Hi,
Did some sierra turning today as well as a cigar
Sierras Chrome+Gunmetal CA finished
Figured Gutta Percha
Red Mallee Burl
Figured Gidgee (cracks in the timber have turned out black
)
The gidgee is very hard like turning a piece of metal. The conker-berry was also rather hard.
Black Cigar Shellawax finished
Conker-berry (almost looks like a more orange version of osage orange)
I think I have now got the photography down to.
Thanks for looking
BenRegards Ben

Sierras are a nice kit and I think you have done a magic job in bringingout the bes in them with your blanks and finish. Great work!!

Great collection of pens there Ben
What background are you using for the photography and are you taking the photos outside, inside or in a tent?

As for the background it is actually the mat of a trampoline it looks a bit like carbon fiber, it is taken outside the time to take the photos is important, they are taken on an overcast day (so there is no reflection from the sun)Regards Ben
