first self cast of worthless wood

[altaciii]

This is my first attempt to cast worthless wood using Curtis's p/pot system and alumilite black. Gold sierra and I think, mescal bean root. finished with ca/blo then down to 12k mm. I also tried something different with white balance on my camera. All comments welcome good and especially bad. How else can I improve?

Man that is way too cool Alex !! I'm not big on light wood or anything , but that is really nice . Only thing I can see as far as the pen is a little proud on the transition . Good work ! [8D]

Good job.

I believe that is Agarita root and not Mescalbean though. Of course I could be mistaken.

Alex,

Nice pen. That is definately Agarita rather than Mescalbean.

Wow, that's a cool grain pattern in the middle there, looks like a sunburst! That's some pretty wood, I like the yellow color a lot!

 

[altaciii]

Agarita root, huh. I probably trust your judgement better than the source, Curtis and Dario. She said it was mescal bean and I had no reason to doubt her. I'll make sure she knows. Thanks.

Great looking pen! Really nice grain pattern in that blank. You did an excellent job with the PP and Alumilite.

Yepp Agarita.

Got 1 also gave it to my Dad. Me and my boys dug it up and went over to Curtis' for a little "how to cut up a root ball" lesson. Its in my Album dont know if I did this right.
