Junior Gents FP - Quilted Sapele

[ehickey]

I used one of the pieces of quilted sapele that I got from BryanJon. This stuff is truly a wonder to behold. As most people say: the photo doesn't do it justice. It was the only photo that really showed off the quilting. The rest of them kind of washed out in the lighting.

Wow very nice. I love the quilting.

You might try a lighter backgroud so we can see the detail better.

Indeed a beautiful piece of wood, and a beautiful pen as well. Good job Eric.

The finish is 3 coats of BLO/CA. I typically put 5-10, and side-by-side with a pen that has more coats, there is a difference. I am going to make sure that I put more coats on in the future.

Great looking pen. You did very nice work on a beautiful blank. Sure glad I have some of those blanks. You inspired me to turn one!
