I'm back from Eau Claire, WI this weekend and finally got an opportunity to turn something. Since I have to go back on Tuesday and had to take care of a bunch of other stuff at home, I only had time to turn a pen, but here it is.
The bottom of the pen is Lacewood and I'm not sure of the top. At first I thought it was Cocobolo, but after turning it, it became obvious that it was not. When turning it, the darker top gave off a smell that I can best describe as a jar of pickles. Anyone have an idea of what it may be?
It was nice to get back into the shop and make something. Hopefully, things will slow down in about a month at work and I'll have more time to enjoy my hobbies.
Happy Turning.
