Very nice Dave, I especially like the first one.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice Dave. I to like that first one.

[Dave Wagner]

Thanks! everyone thought it was like a plastic or granite, never tried it before. however, I had a problem with the knots, blew a couple out, but just mixed some sawdust and glue and resanded them down, worked perfectly.

the burl WOW. were did you get the blanks at? pm if you donot care

[Mark Hix]

Beautiful. I am partial to the paduak. Looks like you have one too many blanks:D.

[John Terefenko]

I love the Buckeye burl. That stands out real well and is a winner. I am not a fan of the clip on the BOW. It has too may parts that can get caught on your pocket or other things. I am sure they will be well recieved though. Thanks for showing.

[Peter Hay in Aus]

I like them all because they differ in design that is. Buckeye Burl is a standout because this blank is outstanding in itself. The clip fits the wood as a symbol.
Contrasts on the Padauk lifted this pen and made it very interesting.

Lovely presents thoughtful turning, finishing and presentation cause I know it was not a competition but a series ofwholly worthwhile gifts and I trust the receivers value them highly.

Regards Peter.

[John Keeton]

Really some nice turning on these, and while the Paduak is sweet, that buckeye burl takes the show for me.

[Billy Tallant]

All 3 are really nice pens. I've got to agree with the others though. That buckeye burl really stands out & grabs your attention. I also like olive wood & that one is really showing nice grain pattern. All 3 should really go over well. Great job on them.

[Roland Martin]

Very nice job on all of them, but the buckeye takes first place with me too, such beautiful grain!

[Dave Wagner]

Thanks all. I have a bunch of other ones I have been doing, selling, giving away, etc..

Yes, I really like the Buckeye, never thought it turn out like that. I may try another or two.

I do a lot of Bocoti & Cocobolo, they always turn out good with good grains. Just did a set of Purple Heart, a couple Red Palm, Canary Wood and some other interesting woods.

Luckily, I have WestPenndHardwoods.com local to me, and they have great selection and a lot of cutoffs. Too many to decide.

Just picked some Hormingo and Rosewood...

[Larry Marley]

Wow, that Buckeye burl is wild.
Very Nice
