To Everything, Turn…Turn…Turn

Alan's Turning Log – Adventures in Wood Turning

You might have noticed that the project that I started, or the wood anyway, was different from part 1 to part 2.  I started the photographs with the Chechen pencil and then when I started turning, I forgot to continue taking pictures until I moved on to the Olivewood pencil.  These projects are for a couple of members of my church choir.  We are dining them this week and the choir director asked me to make a pen and pencil set for each of them.  One was the church secretary for many years, and the other was the choir librarian for several years.  I sure hope they like the sets.

This set is Chechen (above).  It is amazing that the colour shifts so much in these pieces, from light brown to yellows and deep reds.  This is an Art Deco pen and pencil set.

This set is the Greek key design in olivewood.  This is a european wood that is highly figured.
