Don't ya just love snakwood[].....whats that I hear.[}]......whew!!! thought I heard....no I didn't hear......CRACK....If it does Don Ward and Anthony both say a repaired snakewood is still one of the best looking pens and yours sure looks great. Lets hope it won't. [][}]

LOSER NO MORE!!!! Beautiful pen, glad the blank was put to good use!

Remember the snakewood rule: let it crack. I drilled and glued. One week later, I turned round until I heard a tic tic tic. Yep, a crack all the way down the blank. CA'd and waited one week. Sanded the rest of the way with lots of CA. I think it's done all the cracking it's going to do.

Snakewood is SOOOOO pretty, maybe it's a good thing that it is so hard to turn, it looks super on your Sierra.

Is it fair for losers to get such wonderful timber and rub our noses in it with such oustanding work?[}][^]
