OOPS

This 10K Gents was going to be a closed end until the closed end part jumped up and left the lathe. After the proper speech was given to the runaway wood, I decided to try and salvage this since the cap was done and looked pretty good. Blood wood and crushed turquoise for a little extra something to cover the glue line. The rest is redwood burl. All comments, pro and con, are welcome.

I think that's a pretty good recovery. From the photo it looks like a good compliment of colors. Is one of the turquoise lines directly on top of the glue line?

Is the glue line under the middle ring? Great save, lovely wood!

Excellent save. Generally mixed media don't work well. But you got a good match. Fine pen.

Very nice. The crushed turquoise is an excellent addition.

Yes, the middle turquoise band is over the glue line. Thank you for your comments.
