Black Ash Burl Jr. Statesman

[Brooks803]

This is the last of my Christmas orders. Since I sold it to a friend and it's a gift for a friend I upgraded them to a statesman from a gent. Wrapped it in one of my favorite burls. CA finish, MM to 12000, polished with PlastX. I really enjoyed making this one and I'm sad to see it go. Luckily I have several more blanks of this stuff. Comments are always welcome! Thanks for looking and everyone have a great holiday! :biggrin:

Jon, great looking pen. BAB is one of our favorite burls. It is a real treat when you can get one with good eyes throughout the blank. It also looks good on black Ti. Well done!

Looks great Brooksy!

I'm just surprised that you turn wood, I thought you were resin only

Nice pen. Black ash almost looks like Thuya.

lol...it's funny you mentioned that. When I first got into turning I only did wood and my wife did the acrylics. I couldn't stand them and still don't like the acrylester and acetate types. I'll stick with my PR and TruStones for the majority of my alternate materials.

Jon,

Another beautiful pen. Just what one would expect after seeing all the great pens you displayed at the Georgia chapter meeting last Saturday. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you. Hope you make it to the next meeting. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you Mike. I appreciate that. I do hope to make it to the next meeting. We'll just have to see what my work schedule is like. I really enjoyed meeting everyone.

Boy that pen screams class. Great wood and great job putting it together. You can have a million dollar blank but you also need to make it pop and that you did. Thanks for showing.

Did you use black ash and where did you get the blanks

Thanks yall. The person recieving it could be described the same way so this will be a perfect match for one another.
