Spalted Pecan Presidential Pen

[Stevej72]

This is from a pieces spalted pecan that I got from Bill Miller, guts. I used a presidential pen kit. I'm not sure why the upper barrel turned out darker than the lower.

I don't know either but that is one nice looking pen.
What is that light ring just above the center band?

Great looking pen. Love the wood and don't worry about the color of the upper barrel. The wood starts light at the nib and gets darker as it goes. Great job!

Beautiful wood and pen!

Thanks for the nice comments. The light band just above the center ring is where I got a little too close when cutting the CA at the bushing. I was going to fix that before assembly and somehow forgot to do it.

I have made a few from splated pecan and found that the grains are really neat to see when finished. Nice job []

Spalted pecan is fantastic to work with; doesn't seem to get punky yet obtains fantastic grain patterns. You did that pen proud. Excellent.
