Aboyna Burl

[Gagler]

I've long admired the colors and wood patterns in the aboyna burl pens here, so i decided to get a blank of my own - now part of a button click Sierra. My photography sucks on my old towel draped over the washer photo tent, but the richness of the burl really wants to draw you in. I turned it a little thin for my taste as I lost my concentration for a few moments, so the next one will be a tad thicker in the middle I think I am going to have to get some more of these!

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Regards,

Michael

That looks very nice. I like the shape, it flows nicely between the upper and lower hardware. Amboyna is beautiful stuff.

i agree with Keith here, and i don't think you over turned it.:biggrin:

I don't find it too thin, either. Many seem to leave them pretty thick ,not
realizing that the 'flow' from top to bottom isn't as nice. This looks great.
You gotta love amboyna..

Looks great to me, not too thin at all.

I agree with the others, it doesn't look too thin to me either.

Amboyna is by far my favorite wood to use and look at. Very nice choice.

The pen is great. I have found that most of my customers prefer a pen that is not so thick and have more sleek lines than a big buldge in the middle or at the end. The bigger the heavier. Amboyna burl is my most popular pen. I have a tremendous amount of it and it sells great. Keep up the good work and enjoy the amboyna as much as possible. Looks like a nice finish also. GREAT job.

Great looking pen, I also prefer the not so thick center on this style!

Looks real good Mike. I think the slender style is nice.
