Afzelia Xylay At It's Best! :)

[CharlesH]

Hey guys,

Here is a quick one, afzelia xylay with 30 something coats. This is a open grain wood and it is pretty difficult to finish but the result is well worth the effort. The blonde part reminds me of koa chatoyance.

Thanks and clicky the thumbnail,

Charles

Isn't it nice when we turn a blank and find a beautiful work of art inside?!!! Congratulation on the find and Well done for the work! Beautiful.

This would be one of those rare finds that I would let the "selfishness" in me keep it! :biggrin:

Great looking pen. The blank really goes good with the Elegant Beauty and the time it take to finish the wood looks like its worth it.
