Earleaf Acacia Closed End

[mark james]

Earleaf Acacia (Australia). Not exactly sure when I got this from George (Robutacion), probably early 2014... (so I'm a bit late).

Very dark, nice coloring, turned smooth with minimal effort. Not stabilized as it came off of a spindle blank (2 x 2 x 6").

In person the colors are very warm.

Abranet dry 240, abranet 320, 400,500 wet with Walnut oil; 3x Danish Oil over 24 hrs.

G'day Mark,

I don't recall of how long ago I sent you that wood but, was a fair while ago, for sure...!

You done a beautiful job on that pen mate, I'm surprised of how good it looks with the natural look to it and off-course, your craftsmanship in creating such a pen is most evident, congrats...!

Cheers
George
