Classic Amboyna's

[Jim Shaver, Oakville Ont]

Hi,

I had some fun today at the annual Hamilton Woodshow. I was able to turn a few pens in the Golden Horseshoe Woodturning club booth, meet some old friends and also other penmakers.

These are two Gentlemen’s roller ball pens (Craft Supply) that I turned with amboyna burl (From William Woodwrite) and finished with a CA top coat

[Ben Gastfriend]

Really nice job. Isn't amboyna burl the greatest? The figure in that is amazing. Very nice job.

Thanks very much guys,

I love amboyna, so I turn it when I am convinced I have the right wood and the best hardware to compliment it...unless a paying client asks otherwise..:rolleyes:

Glenn,

The hip is doing great, thanks for asking. The Dr says I can return to the crease come September, really missing the game and my team ... it's in the blood, eh!;)
