Just got back on the lathe last week to crank out a few pens. Was nice to see how some of them turned out.

Very nice! Those do not look like lowly woods at all with what you've done there. Did you dye/stabilize them yourself? What kit is that in the middle?

Thanks. I was kinda referring tho the fact that we have some nice woods here that are quite common. One does not have to go to South America!

I totally get it.

I bought some dyed blanks from you last May and they have made some beautiful pens. Very easy to turn, also.
