I thought I'd post a few recent pens. Comments, sarcasm, critiques, and paypal orders accepted.
All of these are made from logs salvaged from the Cape Fear River near WIlmington NC. I got the wood from a company that makes flooring and counter tops from the wood.
Wild cherry burl a friend of mine cut and gave me for Christmas. My prior experiences with cherry burls was not so great, but there was some nice wood in this one. I still have two more to cut up.
Another locally harvested material - antler. These are the ones that I was able to leave some of the 'rough' on.
