Worked on some Burls this weekend. Art Deco roller is Amboyna burl. Middle Liberty ballpoint is Honduran Rosewood Burl. Near Liberty ballpoint is Cherry Burl. Throw out good or bad comments. Thanks

Thanks for the comments. On the finish...I have gotten away from micro mesh and really like the dr kirk's polish. It seems to do better on the scratch free high gloss finish.

I love burls too. I have turned a few handles and wine stoppers and have never been disappointed. You did an awesome job.

Great job! Burls can be challenging but if they hold together - you end up with beautiful pens - just like these 3. Thanks for sharing!

Three Glorious Burl Pens, Mike.
With Burls like those you see why they are so sought after.
All three are so different and Beautiful in their own right.
Your choice of Hardware was Excellent, as was your Fit.
The Finish you attained is what we all seek, Magnificent.
Brian.

Awesome pens Mike! I absolutely love all three pens and am partial to HRB, but the deco with both sapwood and heartwood in that pen takes the cake!
