Cedar gold Ti Jr Gent

[dubdrvrkev]

I think this may be one of my submissions to the rtjw auction.
It is cedar that I bought from another member here. It has been sitting around half done for way too long and since I actually got in front of the lathe this weekend I figured I ought to knock it out real quick.

WOW, that is SHARP Kevin! Nice job on the fit (can't see the finish that well in the pic, but I'm sure it is good too).

Nice Job Kevin

 

[woodscavenger]

The angles look almost like a lamination. Looks good!

Good looking pen Kevin.

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Thanks everyone.
Jim here is another pic that shows the finish a bit better. I just didn't like the focus at the cap end.

 

[Docsmith45]

Very attractive--great color.

 

[Gary Max]

Good looking pen---I am a real BIG fan of Cedar.
Thanks for the second pic---really makes the pen stand out.

 

[jvsank]

Great looking pen.

 

[vick]

I like the color a lot, heck I like the whole thing!

 

[Dario]

FF looks great Kevin.

LOML love cedar...I am not a fan of it too much but warming up to it now. I should start collecting cedar, there are lits of it on a friend's ranch that they slash and burn every year.

Is that a manzanita burl that you used to prop the pen? I love that stuff...very tough but man is it worth it once finished.

 

[dubdrvrkev]

Yeah Dario, it is Manz root burl. It is some of the cut off from the pen I made awhile back. Very nice, but a real PITA to work with.
I wasn't a huge fan of Cedar but I didn't have any so... I am pleased with the results but I think it is a little soft for long term durability. I guess as long as its treated well it may not get too dinged up. I do really like the colors of it though. Turns and sands easy, so thats always a plus.

 

[MDWine]

That's a very pretty piece of wood... and a real nice pen!

 

[alamocdc]

Very nice pen, Kevin! I also find it too soft for my liking and would probably not turn it if I didn't have requests for it. But it certainly sells well enough. [^]

Kevin that is a nice looking pen and the grain is really sharp.

This looks great! I am allergic to cedar so I never get the chance to us it! I love the angled grain.
