Oak Burl Bevy

[Houtkop]

A few pens made from a harvested oak burl. I guess the tree was cut down at least 10 years ago, so there are a lot of spalting, ants etc.

No 1 is has a piece of verdite bordered with brass shims in the centre. Second one that I made this way.

No 2 The little holes was filled with brass powder, sanded flat and dyed Green

No 3 A copper cigar and I filled the holes with copper powder.

No 4 is a old Mesa kit

Those are beautiful. You can't beat the chaotic grain pattern of burl.
