Sedona Fountain pen in Snakewood

[tjd]

My first attempt at using Snakewood. :biggrin:
Had no problems drilling or turning. just took my time.
Small schoolboy error in not squaring blank off but will keep it for personal use














Glad i finally did it :smile-big:

if you wouldnt have mentioned it, I would have never seen the gap from not squaring. Great looking pen in my book.

It came out really great looking. The snake wood is gorgeous and well finished. Well done!

'NICE LOOKER'. Please keep us posted in say 3-4 months and gloat that it has not cracked.

Still a great pen! You can hardly notice the unsquared end.

Snake wood is very easy not to crack, or even prevent it from cracking. Perhaps the #1 problem with snakewood is heat. Don't get it hot.

A Great Pen Thomas,
Your choice of Snakewood and Sedona was Excellent.
What type of Finish did you use?
It appears to be very Subdued.
Congratulations,
