Finally got some time to turn and here is some that I have completed:

Next is a home stabilized big leaf maple burl cigar.

Next is a "toolkit" pen from Woodcraft and big leaf maple burl and a hint of red dye.

And lastly is my murphy pen, made from silvertree that I got from Clint (McFamilywood)

The Maple burls were finished with BLO, woodturners finish, Beall buff and TSW for good protection & shine.
The silvertree just had the BLO omitted and the crushed velvet was polished with MM.

Comments critiques welcome

Beautiful work, Mudder. I've never seen silver tree, but I like it. My favorites are the BL maple burl...it's such a great looking wood and you turned and finished it masterfully! [8D]

Mudder, I really like them all, but my favorite is your home stabilized big leaf maple burl cigar. I'm waiting to cut up a 50 lb. maple burl and I hope it looks that good. Nice work! What is silver tree? Silver Maple?

Mudder,
Count me as a "me too" for the big leaf maple cigar. It is a close call as I like them all.

I'm not sure exactly what it is. I think it's a nickname for a North American species. Don't think it's maple but I could be wrong. it has a look like snakeskin.

All look very well done.

Nice job! The burls are just NUTS with figure! I think I'm another lemming...I like the burl cigar too - you can really see the great finish in the picture.

Real nice work, Scott. I especially like the burl.
