I'll See Your BOW and Trump You Amboyna Burl!

[Mac In Oak Ridge]

Just finished this tonight. Amboyna Burl and Titainum Gold Baron. That is one nice design of a pen.

Great pen kit and ya just can't beat amboyna burl Oh very nice job on the turning & finish

 

[DCBluesman]

Another gorgeous job, Mac. The Baron is a "best value" pen as far as I'm concerned, and you've turned a 10!

 

[cigarman]

Great pen Mac. Got to love those Barons.

 

[wpenm]

[KKingery]

Beautiful pen!

Marvelous looking pen. I wish my amboyna were that red. All of mine is more orange.

Beautiful pen Mac.

Great pen! I love the baron as well but I wish it had the no post option for the tail end.

I agree, in fact I wish we had a better solution to this whole "post/no post" problem. I recognize that from a sales perspective many customers want the ability to post. But that threaded cap sticking out is so unsightly to me. I know...I know...whatever the customer wants. I just hate to make something that I feel is unsightly.

No reflection at all on your pen, Mac. It's handsomely made and represents fine work and skill on your part. I just wish we penturners had a better solution.

Gary,
That is the natural color of that particular piece of wood. Came from Rich at Blankity-Blanks.

Get some wood dye that has a darker orangeish red tint and bring up the color in your blanks.

Gary,
The pens with click on, click off caps don't have the threads on them. Right now I don't remember the style but I made two of them a few weeks ago.
