Here is a stunning piece of highly figured Olive, repurposed from a cutting board. The board is about gone, so I guess I am off to look for another one! The gun metal kit is my 1st Concava but I opted to leave the "cave" out and leave it slightly convex.
Not long ago, someone asked how a highly figured/exhibition grade Olive wood pen blanks, should look, well....! this pens gives the answer...!
There is only one grade above this, and there is the Olive wood burl highly figured, there is, identical figure but, full of burl eyes. Those are as rare as money in my pocket...!
:wink::biggrin:
Great piece of Olive wood and magnificent workmanship, congrats...!
PS: If I had a place here where I could buy cutting boards with such figured Olive wood, I would stop chasing Olive trees to make pen blanks with, for sure...!
Cheers
