"Inferno" with Wenge Wood

[elyk864]

As a result of blowing up the blank on the cap, I used the cut off of the "Inferno" and some extra Wenge wood I had laying around.

Results were better than expected.

Thanks, it was getting late when it blew so I felt pretty defeated but then got pissed and said "Nope" "I'm gonna finish it" lol

Nice save!

I would not have declared it a "save", I would have said it is intentional! It looks great like that. Sometimes mistakes DO look better than the original intention! Congratulations on a design job well done!

I agree, it came out for the better for sure.

The true test of any woodworker is not the perfectly put together piece, but what he or she does, when everything goes to hell, and you have to fix it. In this case, your creative side came out, and you made it look better than it would have originally. You are a true craftsman.

Great looking pen! It might have been a save but it looks impressive like you planned it that way.

An old carpenter I used to know would say that the difference between a good carpenter and a bad one is the ability to cover up mistakes. Apparently that philosophy applies to penturning, too. Great job!
