Double Dyed Black Ash Burl in NH

[mikespenturningz]

Here is a blank that I worked on for the last 3 weeks getting it dyed and stabilized. I think it really came out well. The chatoyance of this wood is just unbelievable.

As always I show off my pens with very large images so customers can really see the pen and the wood. I hope you like this one.

Very beautiful!

Schmidt Nib; what are your thoughts vs Bock?

Do you have a preferred vendor to suggest? (PM is fine).

"It came out well" ??? It came out FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! Jim S

Generally, I'm the kind to let the wood show its own beauty. . . . . Generally.

But specifically, that is outstanding. I really like the color transitions. How about a few more pictures.

Beautiful pen Mike! That blank looks like it has some nice curl in addition to wonderful coloring. Well done!!!

 

[mikespenturningz]

I can give you another image, check this one out.. The curl in this piece actually make the wood look like metal in the right light.

 

[Ronnie Breedlove]

Outstanding both the product and the presentation. Thank you for sharing Mike

 

[ChrisN]

VERY nice! That pen is stunning!

 

[BSea]

Is that a 3 color dye job? I see Red, green & blue. Kinda looks like mineral staining.

 

[mtassie]

Fantastic work!

Mike,
that is absolutely STUNNING.

[mikespenturningz]

It is not 3 color dying. It is 2 color dying with a mixing of the colors where they meet. It is only a very little mixing but at least I got some of the mix.

It is definitely a superb product!
