Buckeye Baron

[woodmarc]

Well folk, tried another CE Baron. This time, no catches, no unseen weakneses on the blank, just a few bark incursions. But hey, its a burl!

For the incursions, I just filled with med CA and had a lemonade while it cured.

The pen is Black TN dressed in stabilized buckey burl. Finish is 2 coats of CC and 2 coats of TSW. This is the first pen that I actually MM above 4800. I am very happy with the results. Lef me know what your thought are.


Enough rhetoric.....[^] enjoy...

BTW, it does stand.

Interesting shape, how comfortable is it to hold? The wood of course is great and the craftmanship is superb.

The Pen is very comfortable to hold. It does look a bit big, but since the cap doesnt post, the weight is fine. It is a real pleasure to write with.

Thanks for the kind words

Buckeye burl is such beautiful stuff. The shape is nice, I like the added length. Thumbs up!
