[jonesbones]

hi this my pen timbrerbits jr gentlemans pen kit put a lot of polish on the other two but I like the mat one . Thanks for the blanks really enjoyed it jonesbones

 

[Paul.J]

Well folks here is my effort.
This kit was given to me by Malc,aka The Shark,some time ago,so thought i would take this opportyunity to use this with these burr blanks
The Oak Burr did turn and finish very nicely,i used my Sorby 10mm bowl gouge,and finished it down to 320 grit,an dused my Chestnut buffing system,with a final coat of microcrystalline wax.
Pictured withe off cut.
