Just picked Pear

[Band Saw Box]

Well it wasn't picked but here is slimstyle dressed in a pear blank that I cut and dried from a tree in our yard. I dyed it yellow using food coloring and DNA since the pear on the tree are yellow. I'm happy with the way the color came out. All C&C welcome.

Hi Dan, you picked a very nice wood... I love also the shape of the pen.
Perfect the finish and the fit, as your usual :good:

Ludovico; thank you very much for your kind words. Is there a US Air force base near were you are. Your city name seams familiar to me. As a place I've been to while in the Navy.

Yes Dan. Several years ago there was a NATO base in Montevergine, about 15 kms from Avellino.

 

[leslie hines]

Like your source for the blank, nice looking pen

 

[Band Saw Box]

Lodovico I think that was the base we went to it was in the mid 80's. Leslie thanks you, I've done other pen's from trees in our yard.

Very cool. Does the food coloring hold up to UVs?

 

[Band Saw Box]

Thank you so much Steven. I'm not sure how well it will hold up to UV's I guess time will tell.
