My latest work

Mark,
Stunning as usual. It is a crapshoot between the amboyna and the malle burls, though the edge goes to the Baron because of the kit.

you bet i am

Haven't had much time to visit here lately , but I'm glad I did tonight . These pens are perfect examples of your work Mark . You certainly know how to make a burl look it's best . Beautifully done ! Thanks for sharing .

Skye I leave all my wood blanks as natural as possible when using a CA finish, little pits are a pain but I do not fill them (looks like a plastic blank).

THANK YOU Ligget! Your CA finish is one of the best I've ever seen.

I am distinctly partial to a pen that still feels like wood--- open pores and all. I use a satin spray finish that cuts down a lot on the plastic look, and if I want gloss, I can buff it a day after spraying.

Glad to see other pen turners that prefer a natural texture-- makes me feel a bit less lonesome!

Great looking pens Mark! After five minutes trying to decide, I can't make up my mind which one I like best. I think maybe the Amboyna, it looks perfect!

Great Pens. I only hope that one day my CA finishes look as good as yours. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful pens Mark. The Elm Burl is my favorite.
