Cherry Burl with a bit of Antler

[hilltopper46]

A friend at work has brought be several pieces of cherry burl and a little bit of deer antler. The best part of this pen doesn't show up, as I turned it from a blank that was less than 1/2-inch square.

The void in the burl is filled with deer antler shavings from a previous pen, stabilized with CA, of course.

Nice pen. Turned out great. Like the fill in the void.

Nice job on the fill!! Half inch blank, you must have a Paul Huffman vise.[:0] Beautiful pen!!

That's a damned nice pen! My only problem with it is that I think the void should have been filled withe something very dark.

Fantastic pen and finish , looks great but I have to agree with R2 on the filler....looks out of place there should use dark fill....coffee grounds works great.
Also very good photography too

Another vote for R2's suggestion.

Very nice pen and a great job on the fill looks great!!!!

Very nice - fill is up to the person doing it - looks pretty natural to me I have seen many branches with that color combination. Not picking on ya just trying to be funny.

Nice Save and Fill. I 10th R2's suggestion though. Then again, I am a beginner.
Nice pen and great fit around the band and nib.

Just my .02

I also agree, it would have been nice with a dark fill in the void IMHO

l also agree with R2 a Malachite filler would do it.
