Peach tree long click

[ToddMR]

This is a piece of GA peach tree oldman5050 sent me a few months ago. I was off work today for working Monday and thought about giving this a turn. It is on a black ti long click w/ ca finish. I kept the knot to the side and you can feel the indention of it, which I like on this pen, as I chose not to build up the ca on the knot. Comments welcome and thank you so much for taking a look. This was a nice wood to turn.

Nice job Todd.

Good call on the knot feelings. I'd have done the same.

that has a very nice color tone to it! Did it smell good while you were turning it? I have some apricot that smells yummy when you turn it!

I could taste a hint of peach on my lips when sanding actually. Lol.

Good looking pen. Didn't know we had peach trees in Georgia. I've lived here for almost 20 years and have never seen them. On the other hand, South Carolina has tons. I thought we were the Pecan Capitol.

That is a very nice pen. I enjoy the character that comes out in wooden pens.

Very nice pen Todd. I think the knot adds a little touch to the pen.
