I noticed I have slowly build up quite a stack of left over pieces from cutting blanks. So I thought I would take a few pieces of Amboyna burl and some Malachite Tru-stone and glue them together. Placed on a Jr. Statesman Rollerball. I think the pen looks a little weird for a variety of reasons; the grain of the Malachite and True stone run differently for starters. Anyway, I call it "The Mutt." Turning is a little tricky due to the different density and hardness of Tru-Stone next to the softer burl wood. Sanded from 150 to 2400 grit, then CA (medium) X 8 coats, MM (wet) to 12000 grit, HUT and Ren Wax. Hope everyone is having a good Sunday, and thank you so much for looking. Doc
