Pignut Hickory

[SDB777]

After spending the bulk of the morning under the sun cutting blanks, I decided to get in the garage and near a fan(the sun was crisping me while the humidity was making things yuck). Grabbed a stick from the top of the stack and came up with this.

Yup, you know it....Crosscut somewhat spalted Pignut Hickory on a Jr. Gent I chrome rollerball!







Had a few worm trails in this one that needed a 'helping hand' from some thinCA(weird that it turns the powder in the hole black-it started out white-ish)....and I seemed to have got a funny color on the tip on the ink stick again.


Thanks for looking!
Comments and critiques always welcome!!!

Isn't it cool when a scrappy piece of lumber turns out that awesome! Great job! What is the finish?

Just love the look of a well figured natural wood pen!

OK. Now I'm going to have to make a pen out that Pignut I bought from you a while back. That pen is just beautiful.
