This is my first desk set, and I hope I have learned from doing it. In the pictures I note a few flaws, but since it is already in Louisiana, I can't fix them.
Many of you know I like wood with a story to tell. This black walnut was planted by my late mother many years ago. The ground was so poor that it never really thrived. After Hurricane Rita, my brother who now lives in the home we all grew up in had to cut some damaged trees. Although he tried to drop one oak between the house and the walnut, it fell on the walnut. He sent me some pieces and requested a pen. As a side note, the tree is growing back from what was left of the trunk, and should survive and hopefully thrive.
OK, finally, here are three pictures of a Black Walnut Baron Fountain Pen and my interpretation of a desk set. Comments pro and con are welcome.
