2nd place Summer Extravaganza in NH

[mikespenturningz]

I would like to thank the IAP the folks that ran the Summer Extravaganza and the sponsors of prizes for making this contest possible.

This pen has a beautiful piece of stabilized and dyed red Black Ash Burl. I soaked this wood for 4 or 5 weeks and let the color really get down into it. Then I scalloped with black and white pick guard. This was my old method of scalloping, I now have a new method that will blow your socks off. I still cannot find one of the socks I lost in the basement :biggrin: More to come on that in another post it is much more accurate.

C&C Welcomed.

I just love the sharpness & clarity of those scallops & that blank is awesome!
I can't wait to see your new techniques.

Great looking pen. Another technique is coming like you need to improve or something?? Hard to imagine it getting better.
