Rosewood burl Sierra

[Nolan]

Here is a piece out of my collection of blanks. I had a worm hole to fill, but it came out great. I also turned this between centers and without a mandrel. I have been finishing between center for a long time but this was the first time turningwithout the mandrel. Comments good and bad welcome. BTW eight days till my first photography class. As you can see I really need it.

Nolan, as usual, your wood is amazing. Great looking pen, too! Got the boxes, by the way, thanks! I tried your boiling idea, and with a couple water changes, it takes the wax off, but I think it leaches a little bit of color out of the wood but not bad. That's why they make dye and resin! heh

That is great looking wood and pen! One photography tip that may come out in your class is to try & keep the lens of your camera parallel with the pen so both ends of the pen will be in focus. Your photos are already better than most, It is nice to have close-ups so your fine work shows. Is that a black titanium kit? Thanks for sharing your skill.

Beautiful pen. You really ought to think about selling some of that wood...I think people might be interested if only they could find a distributor
