    A Couple of Cocobolo Wall Street IIs

    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.



    Comments/Critiques always welcome.

    Happy Turning,
    Shane Whitlock

    Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate them!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Another Cocobolo Wallstreet II.


    Thanks again for the comments.

    Happy Turning,
    Shane Whitlock
