Afzelia Burl Bowl & Pens **PICS**
I managed to get in the shop yesterday, turned a bowl and made a couple of pens from the Afzelia Burl bowl blank that Waymon Campbell was so gracious to bring me last week. This was my first experience with this species. It was very dense/heavy. I managed to get 6 penblanks from the remaining wood after cutting the square blank. I turned 2 of them. The photos do not do justice to this wood. The stuff is gorgeous ! ! !
Bowl is 7" x 2 1/4". After the oil finish cures I will apply a good coat of paste wax and buff.

I also made these 2 pens - I have 4 more blanks prepped and hopefully will turn those later this week:
