Hi peoples,
I finally got to work on the Almond Burl blanks I cut, treated and put to dry in September 2010.
This wood and the story behind it can be seen here and just in case someone wondered what happened to it, it has been drying all this time under my digital scales table...!
The pen I'm showing here, is the fulfilment of my promise to the old fellow that made the wood available to us, I didn't say what I was going to make out of it when dry and bring it to him as a gift but, yesterday I made the pen (with a few visitors as witnesses and to day the wife and I had the pleasure of presenting it to the old fellow that is getting pretty close to the end...!
He was pleased, and a rare smile come out of this face, something that made the effort all worth while...!
I explain a little bit more about the wood on this pen, on the thread link provided so, if you are interested or you have followed mu original thread, is a good time to visit it again...!
Hope you folks like it...!
Cheers
George
