Wow, so distinctive. This is the first curly KOA that I have seen. I can see why you were nervous turning it.

I am absolutely addicted to top-grade curly koa. That's about as fine a specimen as any I've seen. How much dough did that blank cost you?

That is the nicest piece of curly koa I have ever seen and you did it justice.

It was a 13$ blank fro Arizona Silhouette. I have been very pleased with my purchases from them, unlike some of the more public names.

Russel,
I've turned a number of Curly Koa blanks, but none have come even close to the figure in that blank. I'm sure AS is going to have a run on those blanks after you posted your photo. Very nice job job on a beautiful blank. Thanks for sharing.

I like curly woods and that one has some of the nicest curl I've seen. It makes a great looking pen.

Steve, it was stabilized and a "exceptional" grade that was oversized. You should have seen it when I applied the finish it realy poped alive.

That is a sweet looking piece of Koa. It made for a great pen.

Koa is like that....it looks fairly blah until you put the finish on it, then BAM! That is a very nice piece of wood, and you did it justice with the kit. I HATE it when someone takes a piece of wood like that and throws it on an apprentice version gold euro or something. Well done!!

Thanks. I have a few crème de la crème curly koa pieces I collected through the years that are about as curly as that. Now I see what stabilization can do to koa, I may have to send them in to stabilize them.
