A couple in maple

[Rick_G]

Black titanium maple slim with ebony CB and finial and a black ti cigar in curly maple. Changed the finial to a piece of the maple to match. Blanks were saved from my BIL's firewood pile last summer.:biggrin:

Nice. I love curly maple. I'd like to see a good shot of the finial too, if you could.

I second the motion of a picture of the Cigar finial.

I really like the enhancements on the slimline. Just right size on the Centerband and I must say that the finial on that one looked so good I thought it was a kit component till I went back and read the post again. Don't take that the wrong way it looks better than the kit parts, but just looked so right. Hope you get the message... I'll stop rambling now:redface:

Here you go Don. This is about as good as it gets with the camera I have.

 

[DurocShark]

That's exactly what I wanted to see. I really like how that looks. Thanks!

Great work, Rick. The extra touches really make the pens!

I have never seen a final on a pen like that before.
Looks fantastic well done.:good:

Cheers Justin

Permission to copy sir?

Permission to copy sir?

No definitely not it was my idea first it's all mine mine mine.



Yes no problem I just got tired of that bolt shaped finial. When you knock out the finial it will make the cap slightly concave you will have to make it a little convex to put the new finial on so it will mate properly.

Nice looking couple of pens. Really like the finial.

Great work

Beautiful. For some reason, I hadn't considered using a black ti for maple but it works really well.

Very nice work on both pens. And from 'found' wood at that. You should be proud of these!
