OK heres where it gets weird, (sorry Karl) This was a perfectly good piece of Curly Maple, until I took an 1/8th end mill in a Foredom flexshaft, and proceeded to rout out holes and trails and several places on my fingers as well, then I placed it in a mold, mixed up some PR and vacuumed it for about 20 minutes, let it cure a couple of days and turned this Black Chrome Sierra, finished about the same as the above pen, in retrospect, I probably should have dyed the Maple but maybe on the next half.
