Cocobolo Atlas

[splinter99]

Spotted this feathered crotch looking piece of cocobolo at my local wood store..the board was 4 bdf..hounded the guy for weeks to just cut me off the last 11 inches..today he got tired of me bugging him and sold me the chunk that I wanted.

I would be proud to have that pen in my case. You nailed it on all accounts.

You have to bring it back to the guy and show him what you saw and made. Great looking piece and finish is excellent.
