Where Does Jack Live

A genuine certified Jack Daniels American White Oak pen blank from David aka Timberbits dressing out a gun metal and chrome Sierra. In the first photo I thought I had been lax in finishing and there was a white speck towards the nib end but on checking there was nothing. This will be my last pen for a while, as I have surgery on my left knee so will be out of action for a bit. Hope you like the photos and comments and critique always are welcome.

Cheers

Nice looking pen! I have been playing with a few of these blanks as well but have a completely different colour. It is amazing what wood can do!

Hi George, thank you, I guess I will get some shed time but what a way to get it lol. When I am up and running again will have to talk about some majestic Olive A++ pen blanks. Glad i found you here.

That was what I noticed, maybe the colour variation is due to the age of the barrel and how long it had been in use and the penetration of whiskey into the oak. I have some American White Oak from Bundaberg Rum Distillery and it is so much lighter in colour. Also have some from a winery which I am yet to turn.

The pen looks really good. I like how strong the grain is on the wood. Very nicely put together!
