Flamed Box Elder Burl

[Sprung]

Turned this pen yesterday morning before beginning work for the day. Turned this pen for myself, though I've also decided that if the right buyer came along I'd sell it for the right price as I've got a few more blanks of this that are just as good as this one is - and they're stashed away in my very small private stash of blanks.

Wood: Stabilized Flamed Box Elder Burl
Kit: Triton RB in Chrome with Ti Gold accents
Finish: CA

I've looked at this one a few times now. I really like it, you turned, finished and aligned it really well. That wild figure in the cap is just awesome. Nicely done!

Mother nature's finest. Nice.

Thank you, everyone, for the comments! This is probably about the nicest blank I've turned yet. It was one of those blanks where, when you looked at it, you knew it was going to be awesome. Then, once you hit it with that first coat of finish, you end up stopping and just looking at it for a while, turning it on the lathe by hand to see all sides of it...
