A colleague of mine, whose wife is a professional woodworker, brought me in some bits of nice wood last week. Some Oak, and Cherry and, what I think is Walnut. The strip of Walnut looked really nice so I turned this pen from some of that. It was quite soft (in terms of hardwood) but turned really nicely, although finishing was kind of challenging. It has very little figure in it and is quite plain. I am also surprised at the light colour of the finished pen. I’m not sure what I would call it, because there is a slight hue of purple in it. All-in-all I am looking forward to using some of the other wood that Dean and Bonnie gave me. Thanks guys.
