Random burl scrap

[Drstrangefart]

I had a random scrap of burl in a box that was WAAAAY too small for anything else. Barely bigger than a Corian blank. I saw a pen on a different forum posted yesterday and wanted to try the shape out. The blank was too narrow to perfectly emulate the shape, but it's still a nice one. I HATE trying to MM a CA finish on those high spots. I still need to learn to control it better.

That is a beautiful pen. You did a very good job on the fit and finish with that slim. I still that a Slim is the hardest kit to get a good fit and finish on. It is so small that even a tiny mistake comes out so large. You done good.

Thanks! I'm hoping that's the case when I can afford some fountain pen kits and bushings and sone Zens. Part of why I do so many now. Trying to get the most bang for my buck when I invest in higher end kits.

Very good looking. Somebody will want to buy that.

I've turned some mesquite burl that looks almost identical to that wood.

Beautiful. Makes me think of old world maps.
