Bodark (Osage Orange/Hedge) Pens

[rossvh]

Ok - here's another Bodark pen (aka Osage Orange or Hedge) but it is cross-grain. First one blew up on me so i took the second really slow with lights cuts and it turned out really nice (IMHO). This is also the new Ellipse pen from Exotic Blanks. Very similar to the Wall St II or Sierra but with some added options for the refill. As always - comments & critiques welcome (and encouraged).

I love cross cut Osage Orange. It is so 3d which just doesn't show up in pics. You did a great job with that one. :good:

EDIT: Actually, my avatar is crosscut Osage Orange.

Love Osage. I also like the color it becomes with age.
