Spalted Oak

[WoodChucker]

Another Cigar pen made from Spalted Oak and finished with friction polish. I really like this stuff.

Fantastic looking wood and a great job on the pen.

Thanks Tom!

Another beauty from the WoodChucker! Now if you could just tell me WHY we're getting 6 inches of snow today I'd be real happy! []

 

[Tom McMillan]

Very pretty RT---great looking wood for sure!!!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Lou! I can't tell you why, but I'm glad it's there and not here. [] I'm sick of winter. []

Thanks Tom! Appreciate the comments.

Very sharp RT. Is that chrome of black ti? It looks like black ti.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Anthony! No, it's the upgrade gold.

Thanks Kirk! Yep, the spalted woods are my favorites too.

RT, I'm about to start a Spalted Oak pen (well, about is relative...I'm getting the same snow Lou is!). Did you run into any problems? Any hints or suggestions?

 

[WoodChucker]

Jim, I had no problems at all, this stuff turns easy and takes a finish very well. I think you will really like this stuff. []

Lou,

It's my wife's fault. She put up her spring wreath on monday.

 

[GregD]

Beautiful pen! Now I can't wait until my spalted Maple gets here.

Nice job on the pen.... Beautiful figure.

 

[JimGo]

RT, thanks for the reply, especially when I forgot to compliment you on the pen in the first place! VERY nice pen! I hope mine looks half as good!

 

[darbytee]

Beautiful wood and gorgeous pen RT. Is that some of the wood from Rich?

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks everyone!

Jim, that's no problem and thanks for letting me know you liked it.

Fred, yes that's where it came from. Did you get in on it? Hope so, because it's some nice stuff. []

Tom, you didn't comment on my pen, but I still appreciate you stopping by to give us the weather report. [] J/K

 

[KKingery]

I like it! - a fine job indeed.

 

[rtgleck]

wow... that looks great. My first impression was that it almost looked like fir with the figure and coloring in it. I like that alot.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments!

 

[Fleabit]

[WoodChucker]

RT,

Sorry 'bout that![B)] I really do love the pen. I especially like the finish. It has nice depth to it. If you don't mind me asking, which FP did you use? I haven't been able to master the CA finish, so I like to try different finishes.

 

[jdavis]

Super looking pen. Thanks for sharing.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks everyone!

Tom, I was only kidding around, but I think you know that. The finish I use is from CSUSA it's a friction polish with there name on it. I've been using a pen for a few months now that was finished with it and it's holding up great, looks as good as new. Thanks for the nice comments! []

 

[Tropical]

Nice looking pen.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Tropical, appreciate the input!

 

[TomC]

Hello Woodchucker, i really like your pen, it's one of the nicest ones I've seen so far. I can't seem to find that kind of wood any where, can you please tell me where you got it? Thank you.

Tom

 

[WoodChucker]

Hi Tom,

You are a smart man and have excellent taste. []

Actually, I don’t think you have looked around to much, there are lots of pens nicer then this one (all mine of course). []

I got the wood from Rich, who is a member here also. Just look in the classified section here and you should see his post. If you have any problems finding it, just let me know and I’ll help you out.

Thanks for the nice compliment and welcome to the form!

R.T.

FYI, Tom, Rich's screen name is low_48.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Lou, I had a mental block, better known as a brain fart. []

 

[TomC]

Thanks Woodchucker, you get those to hey? lol

 

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi RT,

I have to say I have come back to this pen about 10 times, I love the wood and the shape you turned!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Jim, that's a nice compliment coming from someone with your talent!
