Worthless Cherry burl

[greenmtnguy]

I sliced up a Cherry burl and ended up with lots of wood not usable in it's present condition. Went to visit Charlie-newlondon88 to use his pressure pot to cast. Was mixing the Alumilite and in a stroke of genius, managed to put part b in the part A I had just weighed. This is before coloring it. Threw the Pearlex in and mixed in a hurry. Charlie was cleaning the pot so in the mold went the alumilite without vacuum or pressure. I got lucky until the 3rd cavity when it came out in folds.

it came out great. The colors work well together, too.

Charlie cleans his pot? The pen looks good even with no pressure.

Charlie cleans his pot?

It's all those stems and seeds..

I mean all the spilled resins.. and boiled over wood hardener, plexitone etc..

Great piece of burl, you made a beautiful pen!

Alton,
In your pic of the pen, is it resting on one of our brains after doing some of the plexitone or ca or whatever finishes?

Great looking pen. The colors go well together.

See what happens when you do a search, and find threads that have been dormant for 9 months. Kinda like being pregnant and giving birth????
