George,

It is great to see you making such wonderful improvements both in your turning and your profile.

Your skills with these smaller forms is excellent and your continued improvements with your box designs is really good to see.

Another cover, wow, you must be well chuffed.

Well done mate,

Lee.

Your stuff is a real incentive to improve my turning.

Thanks Mike




here's the latest six pens

Some striking resin mixes there George, I particularly like the Burr-Resin combinations.

Can't say I'm a massive fan of pens George but that last one with the light coloured wood and red and white resin is something else, quite simply stunning 8)

Thank you

That last one is a beautiful balance of resin colour and wood.

How easy are they to turn George, does the impregnation make the blank consistent in texture or is there a difference between the wood and resin parts?

These resin/burr/wood combinations are really interesting.

Regards,

mikec

Thanks Mike

I find them very easy to turn- I dont notice any diffrence between the resin or wood parts when turning them.

Hello folks

green and white mutt box

spalted beech form 6 3/4" wide 7.5" tall

 

[CHJ]

I really like the neck treatment on that one George, somehow it takes it to another level for me.

I think I see it as an ob·jets d'art instead of yet another form.

Thanks Chas
