I Got A New Toy

[Whaler]

My new Hunter #3 tool came yesterday so I gave it a try today. Boy will that thing make the chips fly.
Here is a Sterling Sedona done in Smokey Taupe PR from Exotic Blanks.

That's a beaut, Dick!

A great looking pen. Congrats on the new tool. I feel so fortunate that I have no idea what a Hunter #3 is.

I have no idea what a Hunter #3 is.

It's a lathe tool with a replaceable carbide disk cutter affixed to the end... Many turners use them instead of a bowl gouge. Removes wood in a big hurry.

Thanks for the info. Very enlightening. What I was referring to is that I feel fortunate not to have found the deep well of financial extraction in the pen and bowl thing. That part of turning looks very interesting. I just haven't stepped off the ledge...yet.

Good thing... There's no bottom...

If that's the case, you don't get hurt. May go hungry, but not hurt.

Great looking pen as always.
Keep it going.
