Mind blowing wood part 1!

[CharlesH]

Hey guys,

Since I do not have much time to turn these day I decided to only turn single barrel pen.

After nearly a month without turning... here is some afzelia burl mineral stained and spalted, colors goes from orange, yellow, green, black! The grain is really swirly and striking! Truly an amazing piece of wood.

Regarding the turning, this one is a bit overturned, I went with quite a lot of CA coats, I lost count after 25.

Here is the pictures for your enjoyment and as always, clicky the thumbnails!

Thanks,

Charles

If you are going to turn infrequently, it pays to turn only the best. Nice pen.

There is no dye! ;-) this is the natural colors in the wood!
