Cross cut spalted pecan Jr Gent

[patmurris]

Hi all,

i have been looking for a 'special' timber for a fountain pen order and after trying out spalted pecan on a Sierra, i knew it would be a good candidate. Here is a Jr Gentlemen RB - i'll swap the nib for a fountain:

The CA finish is not as clean as i would have expected - the surface is not completely smooth and i have a couple tiny white spots here and there... And BTW, this is my first 'serious' roller - more to come of course.

Great looking pen. Nice job. For a burl or other nice looking piece of wood, I don't want it perfectly smooth.

Both of those look great.

I've liked the wood pecan for some time, and the spalted makes for a great pen.

Thanks for the pics.
