Burls really steal the show

A trio of Gatsby Grandes. No idea on the wood on any of these. The burl was really oily turning.

Thanks! Pretty uninteresting looking blank before turning. Distinctive smell but I can't describe it. Really oily and clogs the sand paper.

My experience is that it smells sort of like an aromatic cedar chest

Awesome looking pens! I have some blanks that aren't marked myself. The guys here always know!

Very nice pens. No matter what wood, your crafting is excellent.

Nice set. I agree with Kevin on the first being Thuya. Well done.

Thanks. And thanks for the Thuya burl confirmation.

I suspect the third is Macassar Ebony heartwood/sapwood.
