Filled maple burl?

[KCW]

I finished a pen last night, and thought it turned out pretty nice, so I decided to post it here (I don't post very often). Let me know what you think.







Oh, and this blank was labeled maple burl, but I have my doubts. Any ideas on what it could be?

It could be a Maple Burl very easily. There are many species of maple. The pen looks very nice. You should post more often.

Thanks John. With all of the amazing pens being shown on here now, my pens are mostly just "normal", which is why I don't really post them anymore.

I think it looks great, and I too think it's maple burl. Looks like root burl to me.

Thanks Lewis. I'm glad you and John are in agreement on the maple burl, because that is what I have it listed as. I started on this pen months ago, and finally finished it. After I stabilized it, I started turning it, and found this large hole, but it was filled with cactus juice, so I had to pick it out little by little. Needless to say, I could only handle a little bit of that at a time.

Dan - that's one handsome pen! VERY nice job. Fit looks spot on and the finish is beautiful. No doubt here you should post often.

Excellent photography, too.

Wow, thanks Ted, I appreciate the compliments.
