Hey guys,
Since i got sick of turning two tubes pens, I decided to go with with something easier.
The blank used for this pen cost me quite a lot, It was the size of the knife handle and I have enough material for making two pens.
The wood was not stabilized, was really nutty, with voids and really soft. Turned it with CA, kinda like antler! However, I managed to cut at the right spot and I scored a really nice pen! Two of my friends told me it looked like a Van Gogh painting, I will let you be the judge.
Clicky the thumbnails!
When I got that afzelia, the seller sent me a few extra pieces of nice woods, including this beefwood in two tones!
Thanks for looking,
Charles
