Couple of Zens

[woodwzrd]

The Zen in the back is a full-sized Zen dressed in Irish Bog Oak and Blue dyed Mammoth tooth. The one in the front is a Zen Junior dressed in stabilized buckeye burl and a purple dyed Mammoth tooth. The one in the front was sold before the finish dried and I am still on the fence about keeping the one in the back for myself.

Nice. I really like the look and feel of the Zen. You've done a great job on these.

Cool Pens! Great combination of materials.

Wow, where are you getting those blanks/materials?

They look great plus they have a helluva story to go with them.

I don't remember where I got the bog oak but I think it came from someone off here a few years ago. The mammoth tooth is actually some scrap that I got from a knife maker. He was getting it out of Russia and then would dye and stabilize it. He cuts it with a diamond blade. I turned it with my carbide tools but it is really really hard.

Very attractive pens. I may have to get some of those Zen Junior kits. - Dave
