Here’s two pens that I just finished. The one on top is Buckeye Burl and the one on the bottom is Tulipwood, an exotic from Brazil. Both are finished with UltraShine and Shellawax

Great job, TedM! Buckeye burl is one of my favorite timbers. You should get in on the LJ pen swap. Thanks for sharing.

This is the first time that I turned Buckeye and was impressed. What I really like about it, at least this piece, is that it looks like an animal horn. Pen swap? I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip!

The pen swap keeps getting hidden in the forum. Check it out. It sounded like a lot of fun.

Very nice pens Ted, If I had a lathe for turning pens I sure would get in on the action. It looked like a lot of fun.
Thanks for the post.

Ted,

These are beautiful pens. I really like the looks of the tulipwood.

Nice job.
