Stabilized Spanish Oak Box with Mescalbean Majestic

[MesquiteMan]

This is a Mescalbean Burl Majestic with a CA finish. The box is Spanish Oak Burl that was dyed and stabilized, then cast using my Worthless Wood technique. The ends of the box are Texas Black Walnut. The box has a glass like hand rubbed lacquer finish.

Curtis,

Beautiful pen and box. We got to see a good demo of your stabilizing system this weekend at the Houston area meeting and it was really helpful to see it in practice.

Looks like fun!

Amazing as always Curtis, but I've got to ask...any plans to cary these on the site? This would be such a change from the store bought options.

Amazing work.

SWEET!!!!!!!

 

[Dave Turner]

That's an absolutely gorgeous box. That's what really called me to try woodworking. It almost pulls your hand to it. If I can make something half as nice, I'd consider myself accomplished.

 

[Lenny]

Absolutely Incredible!

Curtis, very nice job. I was wondering when you put one of your creations on line soon. That spanish oak box is very figuritive and beautiful, so is the pen. Very nice job.

 

[seamus7227]

Well, now that is great use of the stabilizing pot besides just pens! Bowls, lumber for pen boxes, really anything that will fit into the chamber! OUTSTANDING JOB CURTIS!!!

 

[D.Oliver]

Amazing work.

Tim,

I don't think anyone would want to pay what I would have to charge! Although, I do have this box sold to a penmaking friend for $75 but don't see a lot of people spending $75 for a pen box!

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone!

 

[Richard Gibson]

True craftsmanship. Excellent job!

Thanks Curtis,

I'll have to PM you when I'm ready for a couple of these. I have an idea for a series of pens that will require some higher end cases like this. Thanks and I can't wait to see your new stock!

That pen is just plain gorgeous, but that box just puts it to shame. That box needs a plain Jane pen inside and that pen needs a box that will not distract from it. Dog-gone-it, why couldn't I have been born rich and good looking. Heck, I got neither!

There is alot of work there with great results. Very nicely done Curtis.

 

[76winger]

Out of this world Curtis, The Majestic is beautiful and I really like what you did with the box.

 

[Ruby pen turning]

The pen is very nice as it is two tone and I love two tone but that box is well...... it is beautiful!!! I have seen lots of cool stuff on here but that lowly box really catches my eye.

 

[EarlD]

Duh, I had to scroll back to the top to see what the pen looked like. That box is just stunning. Oh, yeah, the pen's really nice too.

CRUD!!!! Up to this point there was no-one offering to "hold onto that" for you... and I was going to recommend you just send it to me for all the grief that I've saved you since you divert all the worst moderations takes to me! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

 

[alphageek]

But seriously - that is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on this site! That poor person is going to have to work REALLY hard to make a pen worth going into that box.

 

[Bellsy]

Well done Curtis it's a great design and an even better finish.
