pens from local material

These two pens are made from Greasewood or Sagebrush whichever you prefer to call it. I didnt have enough root left to work with for two pens so i substituted a piece of deer antler on one.

43.51KB These are my first attempt at the CA/BLO finish that has been discussed here, i think i like it i also put a coat of crystal coat on top not sure if its needed or not. P.S. I cant seem to be able to get a album opened here so i guess i will have to settle for posting my pics here instead.

Sorry, Bud... I just set up your album... I try to check for new members every day and then set up their albums. I guess I got a little behind!

Living in Nevada, I'm pretty excited to see sagebrush looking that good.
Kinda fitting that you have to kill it to make it look good
think I'll have to go destroy some.
