A Couple More Australian Cypress

SlimLine, and Wall Street II (both cut from the same 12" piece of floor board).

I decided to give the Wall Street II it's own post because I thought it worthy. Definitely my best effort to date (including the ones I've since done).

I like the knot on the wallstreet. Gives the pen character.

Very nice pens. I also like knot on the Wall street.

Thanks.

I also loved the way the knot turned out, and am already working on a Cedar Slimline with a knot.

The finish left a chatoyance in the knot on that pen and it's definitely one of those that just doesn't transfer in 2D.

Yep, now that's more like it. But the background is messing with me. Now I'm waiting to see the Jr. Gent!

Background is from taking pics with a simple digicamera on my lap with flash, and a bath towel for background.

Was just looking on line for Jr. Gents, and noticed that exotics is out (think I'm going to use Rhodium for the cherry). CSUSA looks to be out also.

I love both of those equally. Very, very nice.

Thanks for the comps, and your help with the finish.

The Longwood was interesting as I wasn't sure at all how it would turn out. There ended up being a lot less heartwood than I was hoping, but I can't say that I'm unhappy with that small blaze of it by the clip. Matter of fact, some people have even said that's what they like about it.
