Found this piece of wood on the floor of my shop today.... it is a piece of spalted big leaf Western maple burl.... real tricky and had spots that needed to be stabilized with CA before I even got to the lathe... but all in all real pretty wood... decided on a Perfect Fit Convertible for this one....

Nice pen and workmanship. Knock-out piece of wood. I get all shaky in the knees just looking at a beautiful piece of wood. I tried making a big leaf maple pen but blew out the blank on the lathe. Tough stuff to work with. I have about a dozen blanks with Steve at River Ridge being stablized. They'll be granite hard but, at least, turnable and will make beautiful pens.
