This pen shouldnt exist. It broke more times than i care to admit.While turning, and while drilling.
It is Spalted Maple Burl and was the most difficult pen to date. It took over 5 hours over multiple days to get this thing turned. It was a gift for a good friend who personally came to my house and hand picked this blank. It was spalted, it was punky, is was rock hard in some places, it was just plain mean to me. Buuuut, i persevered above this measly piece of timber and made it come to life.
Thanks for looking,
