Very comfortable and not bulky

Had been using traditional bowl gouges. This detail gouge takes up another level. Being Crown Cryo can’t go wrong. They just perform.

Great pen for the music lover for yourself. Awesome gift.

Great product

Really enjoying this lathe

Awesome lathe

Great tool

The block you sent was flawless. Very impressed. Will definately be ordering more from your company.

You know you’re holding a pen with this one ! Alot of folks like this it , both finishes look great

This is the first opportunity I have had to turn lignum. The wood turns easily with sharp tools. The shavings created are very fine and are a little surprisingly a mustard yellow in colour. After turning and sanding the pen blank is a light brown / mustard colour. In order to restore the green tone of the wood exposure to UV light is needed prior to finishing.
Overall a nice turning species with a bit of a colour twist.

Love this deep green pigment, such a beautiful colour

Everything that comes from the guys at black forest is first class.

Did some resawing after I had installed the blade and was completely amazed at how smooth the cut surface was. Required only mild sanding. Results in much more efficient use of material when making shop sawn veneers.

Great pen , solid and feels nice to hold

Unfortunately, my first go at using this product didn’t turn out right. I watched the tutorial video a few times before going at it. I used it on top of osmos polyx oil, a finish I have been using on most projects. Applied two coats of the Diamond finish but when I took a step back to look in the light, there was a very clear inconsistency in the form of obvious straight lines across the grain where it had more sheen on one side and less on the other. I attempted to even it out with a third base coat but it didn’t work to blend it. I don’t know what I did wrong but seems like it could have been user error. I definitely worked about as quickly as you could go and I had the 2x2’ square edges marked with painters table on the table edge so I’m confident I didn’t miss a spot. Unfortunately will have to sand it off and start over. Hopefully it goes better on the next attempt. The finish looks great except for the fact you can see this straight lines across the table. I haven’t applied the top coat since I will likely be sanding down and restarting. Bummer. Blackforest: if you guys have seen this before and know what I did wrong, it would be great if you could let me know before I go for my second attempt.
