Honduran Rosewood burl on a Citizen

[stuckinohio]

Here's my entry for this years Pretty Wood Pen. It's Honduran Rosewood burl I got from Isaac Rapelje here on the forum. I have 3 or 4 more from him that are almost as nice. The pen is a Citizen. The first time I have done one of these kits. Very high quality.

Very tough competition!

This was my first time working with the HRB too. It is beautiful. Thank you everyone for the positive compliments!

Now I have to start looking for a beautiful piece of wood for the next contest! It'll be tough but I think I can do it....

Your workmanship on that pen is amazing but that piece of wood is something else, we all know how pretty HRB can be, that is one of the best I've seen, congrats.

As for the "I think I can do it..!" there is no such a thing, there is no doubt that, you can...!:biggrin:

Cheers

The lighter colored back ground made the pen show real well.
