First End Grain!!!

[simplepens]

I know a few of you seen my questions in one of the other topics about how to do this. Well, after about 4 hours and one blown blank I have achieved success!!!! I love the ZebraWood. You probably can't really see the chatoyance, but it is there. This is only a scan. The camera did no justice to the pen.

Congratulations on succeeding. I know the feeling of trying, messing up and trying again. The pen looks great and I will have to try some Zebra wood. I don't have any but will have to order some. Chatoyance is something I love to see in wood.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. With each new pen and this forum, my joy in doing this grows. My wife says I am obsessed. Anyone else heard that one??

Very nice job. Zebra is a lot of fun, but the end grain takes a light touch.
