First Ironwood Pen

Desert Ironwood Atlas Pen
The note on the blank said it was from the Sonoran Desert. I decided not to put the clip on because it would
block a lot of chatoyance that is in the blank. Which the camera does not do justice.

Finished with CA, Micromesh to 12,000, and some Ren Wax.

Gorgeous Pen - I bet the chatoyance is incredible up close and personal! - Dave

Beautiful pen!

That diagonal cut looks really nice. I wish I could find a better way to show chatoyance in pictures, too.

 

[TDahl]

Very nice.

Looks great, Robert.

I wonder if it's possible to show chatoyance since it's the result of the moving reflectance of light and a photo is a stop image. I suppose technically it should be possible with a video? Just wondering because I too have been disappointed.
