Forest Fire Pine

[hunter-27]

These are from the same board of a Ponderosa Pine that had been "super heated" during a local foest fire a couple years ago. The heat caused some dramatic changes in the coloration. Thought you all might find it interesting.

Wow, those are beautiful, nice work.

That is pretty cool...I like the coloration change in the wood. Thanks for sharing

 

[Ozzy]

That is awesome.

Neat coloration. I may have moved the clip 90 degrees so when someone holds it horizontally, with the clip at 12:00 as most do, then they'll really see that striking color change going down the center of the pen.

That's some of the prettiest domestic pine I've seen, beautiful color.

I may change it, but the otherside is also neat, should have photo from both. TY for all the comments.

Has anyone tried duplicating that effect?
(not by playing with matches..)

If there is an interest, I can get some more if someone wants to try some.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. No seriously, we had a huge fire a couple years ago only minutes from my house, there is plenty of the timber around. Messy job to cut but it is definitely a different look at pine.

Did superheating also harden the pine?

Landon,

Great looking pens. I just love pens with a neat story behind the wood. It made me recall a picute I saw some time ago on the website for the Astronomy Picture of the Day! Here it is

Yes it did seem to some. It did not make them rock hard but they do seem much different.
