Caragana Euro Premium

[rd_ab_penman]

Gold Twist Ballpoint dressed in Common Caragana. Finished with 10 coats of Med CA Only, wet sanded 6000 to 12000 MM, polished with Hut Ultra Gloss and applied 2 coats of Brazilian Caranuba.

Hope to have some Caragana pen blanks and small diameter turning blocks for sale soon.

First pen photo shows Heartwood side and second photo shows Sapwood side.

As always comments and or suggestions welcome.

Great looking pen and photo, Where does that wood come from and is there a more common name??

I think I prefer the heartwood more so than the sapwood. Still a very nice looking pen. Will you have any larger blanks for sale? If so, put me on the list for some.

Beautiful pen.

Is this Caragana the same as a Weeping Pea? How big does it have to be to be worth harvesting? Is there any chance it is related to the Wisteria?
