Made it early this A.M. It's Jeff Powell's "Flame" version of his Pine Cone blank series from Exotic Blanks. I saw Tim Wise's Pine cone pen..Really liked it !! and wanted to to try a different version. Turned fairly easily with sharp carbide tools. Only had a few minor voids to fill. Sanded down and then finished with 2 coats of thin CA and 6 coats of medium CA. Then MM, wet, to 12000 followed by HUT Plastic Polish. On a Majestic Junior Rhodium and Black T/N Rollerball. Tim's daughter is right on target....It really does look like dragon scales. Also looks a pine cone that's on fire! Comments welcome and thanks for looking! Doc
