More Pens and things

[DaveL]

I never know what to get my mum for mothers day, but this year it was quite easy. I had taken a bit of African tulip wood round that I turned in to a light pull, just to see what it worked like and mum commented that she liked it, so.......

I made her a pen and pencil set.
I also made another fountain pen for the LOML, this is African black wood.

The finish you can get on this timber is magic.
Then a request for some pen&pencil sets from Joe (large son who drives the barbeque at bashes)

They are she oak, purple heart and walnut.
My BIL had a birthday and so I turned this wine keeper for him.

That is ebony.

Its mums birthday next week, still got to come up with something for that. :-k

Thanks for the compliments, yes I love getting the big smiles when the boxes are opened, well worth buying them just for that. The best bit is its such an enjoyable process making the presents in the first place.

I am pleased you introduced me to The Slope TM of the spinney thing, even if the bank balance has suffered.
