Ash with Purple Band and Chrome Ballpoint Twist Pen



EUROPEAN ASH - Fraxinus excelsior

Creamy white to a light tan in colour, European Ash is a tough, straight-grained and flexible timber with a coarse but even texture. It works well with both hand and machine tools, and stains, saws and finishes well. It can have olive coloured streaks running through the boards. With an oil finish, it can turn golden brown


This pen was turned on July 11th just past Sale. It would be the last airing for the lathe for a while as we were headed into central Manchester and then on to Poole in Dorset to see our daughter for her birthday.
