Chuck, the pen is absolutely beautiful. Your grain and color line matching seems to be perfect. With such pronounced colors, that really sets the pen off to me. Really nice job.

Thanks William. Luckily, the Cigar are the easiest kits to match grain with.

Sweet Chuck! I have a big block of Elm from the LAST elm tree in Franklinville NY. Cored out a couple of bowls from a small limb block but the big block (About 300 or 400 pounds worth) Still need to be chain sawed down. I'll get a bunch of pen blanks out of the scrap. So if ya need more just let me know.

Thank you friends!
Bree!:biggrin: Good job grabbing up some of that tree. Thanks for the offer and, I'll keep that in mind. Would like to see some pics of your bowls. Thanks for the compliment.

Two bowls are bagged in chips so they are a few months out. 2nd half of the small log (14") is waxed and waiting for coring on my McNaughton rig. I had to wait cuz I wanted to get the tailstock on my 3520B out of the way. So I ordered a Robust Tilt O Matic which arrived this week. I got it installed and now the tailstock rotates off the plane of the ways... completely off the plane.
Very heavy duty piece of equipment and well worth the $350 I paid for it. So I will be coring out the second block and then using some of that Cedarshield I got awhile back to fast dry one of the cores. See what I can do with it and post back.

Fantastic. Beautiful pen, congrats Sharon. I am just curious how someone would be able to get the wood from the tree? I guess its "who you know". It is awesome that you can make a beautiful writing instrument with materials that has a "true meaning" for someone to cherish.
