Not your average gmelia burl! :)

Hey guys,

This is a Jr Retro in black titanium. This wood is really voidy and soft but so beautiful! I have a few pieces of that stock and it is not the best. Took me a gazillion coats of CA to fill all the tiny voids.

Clicky the thumbnails and your comments are welcomed as always!

Took a look at your gallery and I am totally speechless. They are absolutely gorgeous.
How about a tutorial on your finishing techniques?
I see that you have used alot of the Sierra/Berea etc. pen kits and those are the ones that I love using as well.
