Amboyna Burl Baron, Closed Ended

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi

This is more free pen wood, this time from Arizona Silhouette. It was not stablized, but turned so nicely.

I used spray lacquer for the finish.

Not sure about the double flat ended look...open to all thoughts..

jim, nice pen and nice wood. the double closed end might look neat with a little recess where the entire cap mount would be hidden... i don't know how you'd turn that, but...

I have been thinking of trying that Andrew.....I have a blank on the bench that is planned for just that type of Look.

I'm still not sure about this one though...

Oh Well if it sells I will be fine!![8D]

I like it, but it makes me think it's a perfume atomizer...
