Classic American Elm

[Czarcastic]

This is a Woodcraft Satin gold kit, which has been discontinued. It's too bad, because I like the look.
The wood is elm from a tree that blew down in my BIL's yard last winter.
Finish is behlens master turners finish and several coats of lacquer.

Thanks for looking

Nice job!

Wow, I pretty much looked at Elm as Junk wood. Here we see lots of Chinese Elm and consider it like a weed. I must rethink my opinion.

real nice, I like a knotted piece of wood as much or more than a wild burl.

Very pretty! The knot looks awesome! Finish looks very nice, too.

That wood is outstanding, beautiful. I would say nice things about the great craftsmanship but I'm too agog over the incredible wood. [:0][]

That is a beautiful pen Czar. Isn't it nice when you turn a piece of wood and get that kind of beauty. Great job on the finish also.

I love the grain and the kit is a nice compliment to it. Excellent work.

Very appealing pen...Sheesh, I just cut an American Elm down a few months ago and I didn't consider a pen for it. Dopey me! I'll have to go cut some blanks today. Thanks! []
