Closed form Walnut Baron

[woodscavenger]

A friend at work took a liking to my pens. She had some walnut that her father had helped cut and stack over 40 years ago. Her husband was planning on making some furniture but she begged off a 6" section and brought it to me. She commissioned this pen for her sister's graduation from pharmacy school. I had three days to do it....I did it in two hours from start to finish. This was fun. Tomorrow I will find out if she likes it.

That's a cool pen...I like the closed end and the way you did it. If she doesn't like it send it my way!!

That has a really nice look. Good shape and the burn lines work for it.

Very nice, Shane. I am really beginning to like the closed end designs. One of these days I'm gonna have to give it a try.

Very nice Shane, I really like the shape, it appeals to the eye. The burn lines are great, they really inhance the shape. Overall great looking pen.

Great looking pen Shane. The shape works really well and the accent lines you used really add to the overall look.

If she doesn't like, she's been sampling the inventory. []

She loved it. She just walked out the door to drive to Florida for her sisters graduation. The lines were actually light touches with a skew. As you sand and finish the end grain becomes darker mimicking a very fine burn line. Thanks for all the comments. After doing 5 or six of these it sure gets a lot easier.
