Mexican Bocote

[CjG78]

G'day!
Recently received a magnificent package of blanks from a dear friend in the US, and just had to spin one. This Bocote is out of this world beautiful. Paired with a dayacom black titanium Harold fountain pen. 10 coats of thin CA. Thanks for looking

That's a beauty! The grain in that blank looks great, very nice work turning and finishing.

Beautiful pen.

Gorgeous blanks and tremdous treatment of it by you. IMHO, you should have kept this one under wraps until the Beautiful Wood Contest for the upcoming 2021 BASH.

I've never been lucky enough to have Bocote with grain like that! And the choice of pen parts with your turning.... Absolutely Beautiful!

I just finished one for my daughter to give as a gift. I love the look of this wood. Still need to buff and finish the base.

That is some nice grain in that blank. It is one of those beautiful woods that at time tough to work with because of allergies but when finished sure does look great. Thanks for showing.

I was there in Melbourne alongside you Casey as you opened the package from Jesse . I gasped then my heart beat went up when you spritzed this blank and its many others,to see it unveiled so well did take my breath away. You are a Pen Craftsman,pizzaz and presentation I love mate.

Kindest regards Peter.

Sometimes a piece of wood is more remarkable than segmented pieces we spend hours creating. Of course it took God years to grow that timber! Very nice pen.
