A Pair of Sierra's

The camera does not capture the beauty of either of these pens.

First up is a nice piece of X-Cut Paduk

Next is Honduran Rosewood Burl ...

Nice Pens, I like the color in them.

Pens look great.

HAHAHA. The background with both pens looks just like my dining room table.

G´day Ron. The pens still look great.

The background doesn´t.

Nice work on the pen, background on first picture is a little distracting though the second picture is much better!

 

[kruzzer]

the pens look great. If I could only have one it would be the Honduran Rosewood Burl ...

 

[dankc908]

The background on the photo is kind of distracting. Can you send me the pens for a closer look? Oh well ... I tried!

Nice Job!

I like that Honduran Rosewood it has very nice grain in it. Can I ask what finish you used on them? The X-Cut Paduk looks like it has a lighter grain in it. Please keep in mind I am a total newbie I have only made one pen so far and I am hoping to get pics of the on here soon I am just trying to figure out what to put it on/in to take the pic. Len

The wood I got from Rand K Wood and I sanded to 600 grit and then made a slurry paste of medium CA to fill voids and sand smooth and finished with 3-4 coats of Med CA.

The X-Cut Paduk looks like it has a lighter grain in it.

Actually it doesn't ... it is the better of the two but I can't seem to get the pic right. There is no black/grey in the blank (don't know the proper term) but looks like a deep pool of reflected light, but the black/grey is what the camera captures.

I'm certainly not the one to give advice on taking pics. Outside is ok, inside is another story.
