Yellow Cedar Burl on an Emperor

[Robert Sherlock]

This was a fun pen to make! The burl and eyes just jumped out as I was turning. About 15 coats of CA then wet sanded to 12000. Comments welcome.

That's a beautiful looking pen! That wood....where's the face with the drool coming out of the mouth??? Such an amazing turn

Very nice timber!

I see thousand of Cedar trees every week, but I've yet to lay my eyes on a burl on any of them....but I'm patiently waiting.

Wow, that is really a gorgeous pen. As others have said, I've never seen cedar burl either. Very nice.

That really is beautiful! I've never seen it either, but I'd like to see more! The finish is spot on.

Hey guys, thanks for all the compliments. I had only seen cedar burl a few times here on IAP. I got one piece a year back and that is what you see here. I recently got a second piece from mrbuls and can't wait to see how that one turns out.

Very pleasing to the eye and I'm sure it was very pleasing to the nose while you turned it.

Nice job Robert, I told you yellow cedar burl is awesome :biggrin: Hope the piece I sent you turns as nice for you.
