Hackberry jackpot!

[MatthewZS]

So a load of firewood is paid for and arrives in the front yard. While loading it I see a few chunks of hackberry.... includinig a Burl or Scar or Lumpybit (tm). I pull a few pieces, cut them up and find a GORGEOUS looking pen. Complete with a piece of wire that the tree grew thru/around. If you look closely you'll see the wire in the top half of the pen in one of the photos.

Great looking pen! Good job in leaving the wire in there. Definitely adds to the pens character.

Yep, but hard on gouges and skew's though!

Didn't use tools on the wire. A file and 60 grit sandpaper did the heavy lifting

Lucky find, and a great job "converting" it into art!

That is a sweet pen!


And I love lumpybit (tm) since the "burl" police might come after you for using burl, lol.
