Hi Everyone,
Thought I'd get some input from other pen-turners on this. I'm fairly new (about 6 mos.) and I've recently ordered my first high-end kit, a Majestic. I'm putting a lot of thought into the material I want to use and I'm looking for suggestions. Here's what I'd like...
- I don't want to use a burl or something with a lot of grain variation as I don't want the wood to be the main focus here. Something that compliments the kit where both can be appreciated...
- I do want to use wood, not acrylic.
- I'd like a medium-colored brown/red wood as opposed to maple or ebony coloration.
I may be overthinking but I want this to be a display quality, first class pen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim
