Stan,
Great looking pen and wood just not to crazy about the background but do love that red oak.

I agree with the background. I just grabbed a placmat off the kitchen table and took it outside to shoot the pic.
Personally, I'm not sure I like the wood all that much. To mee the spalting is somewhat overpowering(seems too "blobby") Maybe it will grow on me(like a fungus?)

That spalting is awesome! The grain almost makes it look segmented too. Two thumbs up on that one!!

I really like that wood! Kirk[8D]
Mikey--Thanks for the kind words. Thats one of the kits you picked up for me last month.
Jerryconn--I purchased about 6 of those blanks on eBay. They looked interesting and I thought I'd take the chance and see what kind of pens they would make.

You're right....too blobby....send it to me and you won't have to look at it []
I think it looks great. Are the lines naturally in the wood or did you turn that?

The finish really looks nice. Love the wood although it is a very "busy" piece of spalted wood.

Everything is natural on this blank. All I did was to turn it, and finiish with CA. This was my first spalted blank and after everything I've heard about them breaking up, I took very light cuts and was very pleased with my luck/success.

Excellent!! That wood looks to me crosscut, which would make the turning even harder, but the result is often worth it. Great job!
