Blue spalted Buckeye Burl

[smoky10]

This gold BARON is made of blue spalted buckeye burl that I got from Dario. I stabilized this blank with poly thinned with acetone and under a vaccuum. Thanks for looking.

Nice Tom, I don't think I've ever seen any with that much gray. The swirl is perfectly subtle, enough to be noticed but not enough to overwhelm the pen.

Very nice, great F&F.
I have been trying a little home stablizing on buckeye I got from Dario. It seemed to work pretty well but clogs sand paper pretty quick. I let dry for 4-5 days, maybe that wasn't long enough.

Why do you stabilize the stuff? I agree it is pretty soft but with sharp tools, the stuff I have cut from a large turning blank turns very well.

I like the color of the wood. The pen came out looking good.
