Black Locust burl Jr. Gent

[alamocdc]

Titanium hardware, RB. Okay, so I just can't help myself... I have to be different! [] For once, I'll let the pics do the talking. Two pictures, same pen. Here is your view Dario.

And with the cap on.

This burl is wild. I wish I could capture the chatoyance on camera!

Neat shape Billy! Nice job on the pen, and I really like the holder in the second pic!

The second (darker) picture definately has a much greater WOW! factor. Very elegant pen. Normally, I don't like a lot of bumps and curves but you pulled it off.

Another nice one Billy. I know what you mean about the chatoyance, black locust is one of the best wood on that category as far as I am concerned.

Gorgeous wood and great shape on the pen.

 

[MDWine]

Yep, sure is pretty.

Thanks, guys!! When one turns out like this one, it makes the few that are only so-so worth it and keeps my coming back to see what will "turn" up next. []

 

[Dario]

You mean so-so locust burl blanks or so-so pen blank in general?

 

[alamocdc]

I mean so-so in general. Like my crosscut Texas Ebony fiasco. []

 

[Dario]

Billy,

LOL...I think you are scared for life with that Texas Ebony...and you still expressed interest on some?! Are you masochistic? [][}][] LOL

 

[alamocdc]

No, just stubborn!!!

Looks real nice Billy. I am a big fan of the BLB myself, and its all Darios fault. He threw in a few in an order awhile back but when I turned it and was hooked. Stuff is pretty hard stuff though.

Sales tactic Kevin []...it usually pay off [}].

Ask Billy how he got started off with it LOL.

Nice looks great!!

Thanks again, all! He doesn't have to, Dario, it's his fault! [] He's the one who talked me into buying the BLB in the first place! [] Thanks, Kev! No really, I mean it. This is one of my favorite woods so far.
