Starburst and scallops 5 woods Aero

[Dale Lynch]

This one almost didn't happen.The first time around I gouged the end up squareing the CA on the ends.I thought I had ruined the blank,but after some positive encouragement(thanks fellas) I attempted my first oops bands.Looking at how it turned out I am wondering if the pen gods had a better idea of how this pen should look.I'm glad I screwed up.

The woods I used were:Tulipwood,Wenge,Zebrawood,Paduk,Ebony.
The hardware is a rose gold/black titanium Aero.

C&C appreciated.

Wow that really looks good. You did a great job on the fix too. It actually adds a lot to the pen. That is a real masterpiece. Well done.

Fantastic pen. Fabulous save.

Blowouts and others 'oopsies' are put in our way to help us become better turners. I don't throw away any of my 'failed' attempts -- I merely put them aside until an idea comes along on how to use what is left.

Looks like the 90% loss is now about a 0% loss.

Aren't you glad you didn't give up?

Great looking pen!

Thanks everyone,I'm glad you like it.The ebony bands provided an excellent contrast to the rose.

Believe me I gave up on it Dan.After awhile though I got happy in the pants that I was sad in and got back to work fixen this pen.

Very cool starburst! I love the contrasting woods and the scallops. Very nicely done!

Edit: I just noticed this thread was from 2013. Still a very nice pen.
