Finally my personal Emperor

[Ron Mc]

I've been experimenting with one wood after another to find what I felt was exactly right for my personal Emperor pen.
It showed up yesterday in the form of a Black Dyed Box Elder Burl.

Now corporate meetings in Chicago will be fun!
As always comments, questions, or concerns are welcome.

 

[Tangboy5000]

WOW, I would keep that one too!

 

[jckossoy]

Definitely worth keeping. Great detail.

Kol Tov,

 

[alamocdc]

Beautiful pen, Ron!

 

[DWK5150]

Nice Id keep it to.

 

[Rifleman1776]

Well done and nice choice of material and treatment. Definately a keeper.

 

[ldimick]

Looks great! Gonna get it lasered?

 

[Dario]

I love it! That is wonderful wood!!!

Of course workmanship looks flawless too

 

[JimGo]

Ron,
That's a beautiful pen! But, I have to say, I'm disappointed. I thought for sure it would be one of your amazing laminated blanks, rather than a "plain" piece of wood (not much plain about that piece, but you know what I mean). Please don't take this the wrong way; as I said, it is a very well made, and striking pen! (I'm sure I'll get flamed by others anyway, but...)

 

[Ron Mc]

Jim,
I understand completely. My second personal Emperor will be the Emperor that you speak of. []
At the moment it is bouncing back and forth in my mind as I work out design issues and put it to paper.
The above lowly pen [] will work as a nice marketing tool at corporate meetings as well as at stores when I pull it out and let the gold flash in the light.
Your comment was not taken wrong at all. If anything I personally see it as a compliment so there shouldn't be much flame throwing over it. LOL

 

[jvsank]

Now that is a keeper nice job

 

[JHFerrell]

I simply can't understand why you wouldn't want to part with a gorgeous piece of work like that!!! Who am I kidding....if I had made that one I wouldn't want to give it up either! Very nice.

 

[Daniel]

I agree that this is a keeper. Hope I can come close with my personal Emperor.
congrats on a fine looking pen.

 

[rtjw]

Great Looking pen, but I also that you would have a lamination up first. Cant wait to see the next one.

 

[Texas Taco]

Don't think I would keep it.............you need to mail it to Texas A.S.A.P. before it ruins your other pens. []




Nice pen, unlike I said above, I'd keep it too.

Just north of Houston, 196 miles south of Dallas.

70 miles to the south of Centerville, half way between Willis and Conroe. Panorama Village to be exact.

 

[Ron Mc]

Perfect. My father in law lives in Conroe and I'll be in the area around the holidays. Maybe I can get you to teach me a few things?[] There are several members that live in the Houston area so we may all end out at your place![]

I go by there 3 times a week. My folks live on Thompson road. I'm in Montgomery.

Hey neighbor. Before moving here I lived just down the road to the west from Thompson Road.

Tom and Kathy Brandle or the sawmill they own doesn't ring a bell. I met a man that owns a sawmill near here but I'm at a loss for his name and where the sawmill was located.
