Pic of a new pen rack

I've posted a picture of a new pen display rack I just finished. It's the last photo on page two of my album.

You comments would be appreciated.

Pretty dang stylish, Bob, I like it! Did you steam the maple(?) ?

I'm reminded of both a fish (car thingie) and a retro style table.

Very nice.

Now that is something different. I like it very much. and I second the question about steaming the wood. this is the sort of stuff I want my whole display made of. not only do the pens capture attention. but the display itself does. Add one notch to your gouge handle for that one.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. Well, I wish I could claim I'd steamed and bent the wood, but I didn't. I researched bending wood and laminating wood, and will try both. I think a lamination of maple and walnut could be very pretty.

This rack was made by cutting the two pieces from a 2" thick piece of maple. I have a friend that makes gunstocks, and he gives me some really nice wood that he sees as scrap.

Glad you liked it,

Dang Bob! That is nice! It makes me think, and you know me - that hurts! ;-)
