Mother Nature Segmented II

[MesquiteMan]

Here is another cross cut spalted hackberry that I stabilized and double dyed with plexi-tone. The patterns you see are 100% natural and the only thing I did was soak the blank in one color of plexi-tone, let it dry, and then soak in a second color! Mother Nature did all of the color variations due to the variable density of the wood from the spalting process. The finish is CA and the kit is a Black Ti/platinum Sierra.

The master does it again. Everytime I see one of your pens it makes me want a couple of blanks from you. Do you sell these also? Great looking stuff an great job on the pen!

I think that one is even pretter than the last, if that is possible. You have a great thing going there.

That pattern is pretty wild. I was reminded of fiber glass cloth.
