Dyed Box Elder Pen

[woodguy1975]

Well, here is another pen of mine. This is a box elder burl that was actually dyed blue. Once I got it turned down it turned more of a green. The finish is the three step Mylands.

I'm working on improving my photography. I just need a stand and better lighting.

Thanks for viewing.

Nice fit and finish John. Is that a Jr or a full size gent's?

That is the full size plat. gents pen. These things are large. You have to be accurate when drill a 3/4" blank for one of these. That 37/64" bit is large.

Great looking pen---light can be very tricky
I have gotten to the point where you just can't beat sunlight.

Came out looking great just the same. Nice job.

Nice job on the pen! Those big old Gents really show off the wood nicely.

You're right about that. I would have taken these photos outside, but the wind was blowing about 30 mph all weekend. When the weather is nicer I plan on using the sun for a light source.

Thanks,

John

Very nice work, John. Getting a good photo can often be harder that turning a nice pen.
