a new twist on the twist pen
hi guys
just playing around at moment getting ready for a demo at my local club and decided i would trick a few in making a couple of twist pens with only one piece of timber and no centre band and i also knocked a standard one out of cooktown ironwood from ironwood thanks brad
and they are so easy to make
first one is hairy oak and the other is a superb piece of mackay cedar with lots of white mixed with the red and a heap of figuring 2 pics from either side to show the grain

I'm happy to ask how they are made as well
PeterThe other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".
