Coffee Anyone?

[mlconnelly]

I guess I was up for a little adventure and wanted to try something different. I took a piece of cholla and filled the voids with coffee grounds and CA. Sorry for the poor picture. I snapped it walking from the shop back to the house before dark. Any thoughts?

That's an interesting way of doing it! Can you actually tell its coffee?
Looks like a great pen by the way!

Nice pen the cholla holes show up well.

I turned it most of the way before I filled the holes. Later while turning and sanding it smelled great. But after the CA finish you can't really tell that it is coffee either by smell or visual.

Interesting look. I like it.

Very Interesting Result Mike.
Any reason why some of the Coffee filled voids look Blue?
Or should I just not drink any Coffee at your place?

I like it! And I wish my best pictures would look as good as your "bad" one

I think any "blue" appearance in the coffee spots is probably from the poor lighting and bad photo. In real life the coffee voids are a deep chocolate brown.

I think it's a keeper. You could call it "cholla joe".
