Apple on a Trivalent Sierra

[SDB777]

Having obtained a small quantity of these Spalted Apple blanks, I decided to give one or two a spin. Not having worked with apple before, I have to say....this stuff is really hard(it could easily do hammer duty)! And the spalting is 'strange' too, sort of hit and miss with dots instead of lines like I am use to(or maybe it was just this one stick and all the rest I have will be completely different).
Anyway, here is the 'knot end' of the blank:





And the other 'boring end'(if I could actually be calling it boring):



Thanks for looking! Back to the shop for more fun during the rainy day!

Great looking pen. The blank compliments the pen, and vice versa. Fantastic job.

I like it a lot! I have a cherry tree in the back yard dying that will probably have some good spalting on it. I hope it turns out as good as yours.

Beautiful pen! Good matching the wood color to the pen color.

Thanks....I always thought Apple was just a good filling for a pie. But I've been 'taught a lesson'!




Scott (okay, the pie is great too) B

I really like it. I just received some apple but it doesn't look like yours. Thanks for showing.

Wow Scott, I have to agree with others here that the color of that wood really goes well with the gold in that hardware. Very nice.
