A Couple of Cocobolo Wall Street IIs

[Shane Whitlock]

We got back from Denver late last night and Im glad to be home. We had a blast and I can't believe how beautiful Colorado is, I loved it up there.

It was our anniversary a couple of days ago so my wife took me to the Woodcraft store up there and bought me a beautiful piece of Cocobolo. I have been having lathe withdrawls so first thing this morning I turned a few pens with it. Great wood to turn!

Anyways here's a couple of Wall Street IIs. The finish is CA and BLO. I love this pen kit, there's not much of a challenge to put them together but I think they look real sharp.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate them! :D

This is a pen I posted a couple of weeks ago but I didn't like the finish or the fatter shape of it so I took it apart and re-turned it.

Beautiful work Shane - specially on the one you re-turned!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Shane those are beautiful. I am going to have to try a couple of those. I have looked at them but just never pick any up. Great job on the rework.

[Tim Malyszko]

Those pens look great. In my short time turning, cocobolo has become my favorite turning wood. I really like the Wall Street II design. Nice work.

[Shane Whitlock]

Thanks again for all the comments everyone, I appreciate them. :D

I turned another one tonight and rather than start a new thread I'll just post it here.

Another Cocobolo Wallstreet II.
