Dry Buckeye Burl Hybrid Diamond Knurl R/B mix

[JohnU]

This is a pen I worked on during the monthly Exotic Blanks You Tube live demo this past week. I talked about how I took unstabilized very dry buckeye burl and cast it in clear urethane resin. I then showed how I turn dry wood that isn't stabilized to a finished pen. I needed to buff and sand the ends a bit so I assembled it at home the next day. For anyone who seen the demo, this is the finished pen I said I would post here when done. If you missed the live demo and want to see it, here a link to Exotic Blanks' You Tube recording of it. The pen was made using the Diamond Knurl Rollerball Antique Silver from Exotic Blanks. I swapped the finial and center band from a Blue Titanium set to give the pen more accent without having to turn new ones. It was finished with Gluboost. The pictures are a little poor on showing detail and color but you get the idea.

These demos occur every month. If you want to be notified as to when they occur, just email Ed and Dawn at Sales@ExoticBlanks.com and say "add me to the YouTube list". The previous videos are available on their channel under both "Videos" and "Live".
