Tree of Life

Lignum Vitae - tree of life

I love this wood, from the smell while turning (cinnamon and allspice), to how you can make tea out of the shavings, to its history of healing and use as underwater turbine bearings. It has to be the most versatile wood.

I may keep this one for myself.

very nice! did u make the cb?

If cb=center band, yes. It is just part of the upper blank that I segmented a horizontal line of brass into to allow the wood grain to be relatively uninterrupted.

If my nose could have a choice of 2 woods to turn exclusively it would be lignum vitae and olivewood. They don't look that bad either.

Beautiful Creative Pen, Kelly.
Love your treatment of the Segmented Cap, Very Clever, Subtle and Beautiful.
The Choice of Lignum Vitae was Brilliant.
Looks Fantastic, and well deserved on the Front Cover.
Keep pushing the envelope.
