Longleaf Pine Statesman

[TomW]

This Ole Boy comes from a blank of antique Long leaf Pine from btwillis. It's a Statesman Fountain in Rhodium/Gold.

Comments appreciated.

Nice looking pen - I also like how you paired it up with the pocket watch: the two seem to go together.

Yeah, but the pen blank is a couple of hundred years older than the watch!

Beautiful looking pen! Nice job lining up the grain with the cap, and I like your kit selection.

Nice pen. I like the Rocking Horse that is your picture. I ordered some plans for one so I can build one for the presently unborn baby in my wife. The plans look quite daunting to me since at the moment I could either translate a treaty into Russian or build an old Chevy 350 engine from the ground up. Did you make it yourself? If so, any tips?

where did you get the hinges for the cover on the pocket watch, and buy the way great looking pen.

I put another post with more pictures in "other things we make".

Thanks

Tom: Great looking pen...and seeing my Antique Longleaf used is even more gratifying. You've preserved a piece of history and the South is proud! Ben Willis

Tom , That is a beautiful pen made with a wonderful piece of timber . Pine is a much unappreciated wood when it comes to making pens but can make some stunning pens , like yours . It turns well with sharp tools and can have some very striking grain when finished . Well done :good::good::good:
