APRICOT TREE

[johncrane]

My mum planted this Apricot tree on a farm where she lived when she was a young girl. it had died some time in the late eight's. We where also very lucky to get It before it was burned.Now l have given It a new life! it turned very easy and l used a spray on finished.

Woww, I like the grain on that wood. Has some great sentimental value too.

Yep nice wood on a fine crafted pen []...the story behind the wood makes it a lot more especial too.

John, I really like hte shape of that pen. Very distinctive compared to the "traditional" Atlas/Polaris pen. Nice job!

Nice job on the pen, John. Apricot is a favorite wood of mine. It has lovely grain and the aroma of the wood is apricot-ish. Much like olive wood's olive-ish aroma. Ans the story of the wood is even better. =Pens from sentimental wood are really special.
Do a good turn daily!
