Majestic with Yorrel Burl Wood

[wizard]

Made this pen in AM today from a generous gift of Yorrel Burl Wood
from Shawn Hill. It's a Majestic with a large surface area which shows the beauty of the wood. Sanded from 150 to 600 grit, CA X 8 coats, wet MM to 12000, and HUT plastic polish. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday and thank you for looking!

Yorrel Burl is actually the Burl of the Yorrel Mallee tree. It is part of the Eucalyptus family and is native to the southern part of Australia.

Ok, I'm done with my geek moment!

Wow very pen.

Beautiful! Yorrel and York Gum are both really hot burls. Usually great colors and figure, and this proves it.

Doc~that is one gorgeous pen you have made there in the weee hours of the morning!!

 

[Jim15]

That is a real beauty.

 

[aussieturner]

thats a great pen :biggrin: yeah we got some really good stuff down under on the other side of the big pond and some of it is really hard woods much harder than most of your timbers over there

 

[wizard]

When I drilled and turned the blank it became obvious that it was definitely a harder and denser burl wood than others I've worked with.
Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. Couldn't have made this without Shawn Hill's gift of the Yorrel burl. Shawn is a gifted individual who I had the pleasure and privilege to meet in person.
Again, Thank you,
Doc
