First Big Bear Sierra Burl

[maxman400]

WARNING CONTAINS WOOD PORN::biggrin:
This is the first Pen out of the Redwood Burl That I got from Big Bear Ca. on my weekend. The first slab was weather cracked pretty bad so I cast it in Blue pearl Alumilite at 70 psi to make sure it went deep, and boy did it. It has 10 coats of thin CA wet sanded to 1K, Chrome polished then plastix polished. It is on a CSUSA black ti sierra. :biggrin:
Any Comments Welcome , Thanks for looking.

Great looking pen and a rather unique display stand. I think the blue coloring accents the redwood Burl well. It would be nice to see a picture with a little less reflection but sometimes that's what we end up with.

Thanks, I took 24 photos (outside) and these were the ones with least amount of reflection.

Great looking pen...I especially like it with the subtle repair work as opposed to the full out 50/50 wood acrylic pens.

Truly beautiful! The wood is porntastic and the blue adds to the natural beauty. Your finish is awesome!

Nice casting job Max, like Jeff said I like just the cracks filled in it is rather indecent though it's making me think impure thoughts like going up to my shop and do something like make a pen. It sure looks good.
