I have been toying with the idea of a desk pen that does not use the usual brass trumpet type stand for some time. I have also had a vague idea going on in the back of my head about a desk pen in the form of a wind felled tree or a "lightning tree". When Ken Nelsen sent me some extra "leftover" blanks for the article that I am writing for the Woodturning magazine, this one caught my eye straight away and I just had to see how it fitted with my concept.
Based on a Sierra kit, a Kallenshaan leftover blank was used to make the top, the body and desk stand are African blackwood.
Maybe it just re-entered Earth's atmosphere with its tail on fire, maybe it is a refugee from The Hobbit, anyway I like it and it is my desk it is going to sit on. It is finished with gloss acrylic lacquer and polished with burnishing cream.
Comments and critique welcome as usual.
