Hi,

A couple of new Churchill's with Manitoba Maple burls

A fountain pen version with sterling silver, both with the new coupler attached.

Comments and critiques are welcomed.

I almost feel out of my chair------that is awesome work.
Maple is one of the most under rated woods ---and you just proved it.
What camera did you use----I am needing to upgrade.

[workinforwood]

Excellent looking pens Jim. Great photo skills too! That maple is almost as good as Saskatchewan Maple..but not quite.:wink:

 

[Dalecamino]

Beautiful pens Jim !

 

[papaturner]

WOW! Love the wood.......Beautiful work.

 

[desertyellow]

You made that burl proud!

 

[leehljp]

The colors just come alive in those pens! The first pen shows something that I haven't seen before but thought about as a possibility: Biased/angle cut burl for a unique flame effect. The second one has that to some effect.

Beautiful work!

 

[toolcrazy]

That first one is gorgeous. Nice work.

 

[mrburls]

Very nice looking pens you turned there Jim. I like your choice of wood burl. I've turned a number of dyed stabilized maple burl and have been fortunate to always finish with a wonderful burl figure.

Great photos. Only wish mine were that good.

[Grizz]

They are both nice... but I've got to say... that first one is gorgeous.

Jim outstanding work on those pens, glad to see you back turning my friend, just a little thing before you post them in the second picture the clip is not seated in the gap of the clip ring.

Your pictures are as always brilliantly clear, and the wood is beautiful!
