Chakte Viga Olympia

[Geo in Winnipeg]

Olympia, Gold TN made with Chakte Viga from Big Rob. This is hard stuff. Finish is 2 coats of WB Lacquer and TSW. The idea of the tenon on the lower barrel was from another member. I think it looks better than the straight barrel ones. It's too bad this kit isn't available with a parker refill.

Comments always welcome. Thanks for looking.

I agree with you on all points, George. And you're right about it being hard, but it sure makes a pretty pen. Nice job!

Beautiful, George. You've got a couple of winners tonight!

Thanks for the kind words Billy, Lou. The pic doesn't show off the chatoyance of this wood very well. You really have to see it in sunlight.

George,
Sweeeeet! I am glad it worked out for you. I want to try it again, once I get a little better at this awesome craft. Now I must look at your other pen. I like the peach-ish color with that finish too. I am filling an order for inlay, which I don't sell anymore, then I'm getting on that yellow cedar burl pen. Oorah!
