Rosewood Half Twist

[gwilki]

This is the rosewood burl that Nolan was selling. I hope you think that I did it justice, Nolan.

This is the half twist ballpoint with the floral center band.

Finish is MM to 12000, cellulose sanding sealer, then coats of lacquer. It's still hardening.

I'm not sure how the pic will look as the original was 300 dpi and to reduce it to the necessary file size, I really had to low rez it.

Critiques are welcome.

Thanks to you all for your compliments. I'm grateful.

It's very hard to screw up badly when Mom Nature did such a fine job on the raw materials.
