Today was a day of first used me new video camera & my new Evolution chuck for the first time and turned M3 for the first time and enjoyed them all well most
Well tried doing a video but got it all wrong so here are some photos of some M3 Mokume composite blanks ( metal composite in plane English) made up on sierra kits If any of you have considered these blanks they are very easy to turn with standard woodturning chisels in fact easer than some acrylics the instructions say sand to 800 I went to 1000grit but found I needed to go to 1,500 grit W&D to get a good finish the polishing compound you get with them to polish with was rock hard so I used good ol Autoglem at first I was a bit disappointed with them but the more I look the more I like them
I intended doing more of them but had to come in and cook diner then our David turned up trustone tomorrow

Beautiful pens Woody. What are you finishing with ?

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

Just good ol Autoglym from Halfords the polishing compound that come with them had gone of and set hard but any auto polishing compound should do

Hi Wood, Reading through you've been taking some new steps here and applying some new equipment, yet we can't fault your good ol turned pens, simply look the best.
Well done and Cheers David
