Here is how my Panache desk pen turned out.I had recieved several boards/scraps of this nicely spalted maple,and tried making some pens with it.About 8 out of 10 would blow up somewhere along the way,even with soaking with thin ca in stages of turning.
I sent a small box in to Jonathon Brooks to get stabilzed,and he saved the day! I was able to complete it without blowing it up.Thanks Jonathon!
These are the hardest pens for me to make,this is my 7th one now.
I can't wait to turn the rest of the batch of blanks,and someday show the guitar maker that gave me the boards what I made with them.
Thanks for lookin!
