I got some really nice curly maple a while ago and a friend wanted a desk display with matching pen. Came up with the large piece, then he also wanted a smaller piece for a tru-stone pen I made him.
The business card holders aren't fastened down yet an either of the pictures, so they might not be centered, FYI!.
The larger piece is finished in Wipe on Poly and it didn't seal in the color as much as I'd hoped. As a result the sides faded some and accentuated the lack of curl on the left side.
Used Arm-R-Seal for the smaller piece. I like this as a finish instead of the WOP. Seemed to lock in the color better. Better piece of wood also, with curl all over.
