Birds Eye Yellow Cedar / Zen

[Charlie_W]

Here is a pen that was my Jan Pith to Tyflier.
It is an awesome piece of Birds Eye Yellow Cedar on a chrome Zen.
The finish is a built up/turned CA and was wet sanded, polish and buffed to a great shine. The shop smelled wonderful while I was turning this one!

I have a few pieces of that stuff and it sure does smell good turning.

Nice pen

Thanks again for the kind words.
I thought about segmenting something into it. Maybe some red heart or blood wood but decided this blank was just too sweet by itself to do anything to it!

 

[SDB777]

Only way I would put 'segmenting' into this type of timber is if I had some of that white/red guitar pick stuff. And then I would only put it on each end between the timber and the hardware.

But I don't guess a fella could really call that 'segmenting'.....it looks good all by itself!
