This is from a nice piece of Satinwood I got down at West Penn. The wood is tempermental as I blew out the first blank drilling a bit too fast. I recommend sharp tools for this.

The chatoyancy of Satinwood is extraordinary. I have always loved this wood. I have some incredible Satinwood veneer that I bought over 30 years ago... the thick kind... I never used it cuz I like just having it!

This pen was tung oiled to pop the curl and then MM-12000, triple buff (no wax), CA/BLO-3, double buff w/carnauba, and RenWax. Hope you like.

WOW, those grains just pops out at you. I just finished some KOA that I thought was great, but this beats it.

I didn't know anything about it. And these guys are producing these top end pens that knock your socks off! My little old cigar pens wouldn't win.

That little drop of tung oil with the driers in it really kicks it up a notch! i was gonna TransTint it red or orange but I was afraid. It looked so nice that I went with something I knew well and could predict. I still kinda wonder how it would have looked in orange!!

I rarely post on this site, but that pen is gorgeous! I think it should be entered in the pen contest without a doubt. There's something to be said for a classic style, beautiful wood, and a flawless finish.

OK Butch I'm in. I took another PIC so it would look like I did something special for the contest. I guess I need to read more of the threads because I just plain missed this contest. Maybe I thought that it was for the high enders and just scanned right over it.

I really like one of my Cocobolo Cigars better but it was made before the contest started so it is out of the running. Anyhoo thx for the opportunity to become a competitor!! It's like the Super Bowl of Pens!! LOL!
