A Gent in the trash

[Countach]

First pen turned from the 5 pen blanks I cut from a discarded piece given to my local WC store.
Curly Bubinga finished with 3 coats friction finish and 2 coats Renwax.

Thank you.

Andrew, A customer took his cut scraps and left them for the employees to salvage thru. I was offered the trashier scraps after the employees had their pick. Still managed to get several chunks of ebony and olive wood, along with cut-offs of quilted maple and the bubinga. Cut 4 with the grain and a fifth across the grain. I was going to try the cross grain for this pen but was not sure about chipping it out with the larger gents tube size.
