I received my goody bag of pen blanks that Jeff.. had cut on different biases than normal blanks are cut: 22.5°, 45°, & 90° to the grain (cross cut)
Here's the first victim in the experiment, a 90° cross cut curly Sycamore.
Other side...trying to pick up the chatoyance in the curl
And one as a photography experiment, trying a different background, same pen
I love turning this Sycamore, it turns like butter, takes a nice polish, and no matter how you cut it, it makes a sharp pen
.
I would appreciate comments on the photography, I am trying to do better with what I have to work with
.
Thanks, Dave
