It's a boring day here, threat of storms and/or rain on and off just makes you want to crawl into a warm spot and take a nap. But nay I say!! I is a turner of pens(no I haven't been drinking....yet)!!
This piece was the next on the stack, and would have been someone's...but I got it. Crosscut Eastern Red Cedar with extra sapwood. There is some 'funny looking hues' in the sapwood. At first I thought I had contaminated the blank with metal from sanding....but I don't use bushing at all.....weird?
Anyway.....
And then up close!
This is about as close as I can get to a blank without some serious lighting and the use of extension tubes. I'll let the wood speak for itself......
Oh yeah, this is 3 coats medium and 5 coats thick CA(BLO method)....if you were curious.
Thanks for looking!
