Transformer

[Ruby pen turning]

These are two pictures of the same pen before and after. I re did the pen with the clean room booty on by cutting off the booty and added a cap of Honduran Rose Burl which is what the rest of the pen is made from and made it into a pen that sold in a few hrs.
I just did not like the blue after looking at it for awhile.

Brian, I've got to tell you, that is one stunning piece of Functional ART! I really love your design and celtic knot set in. Same wood isn't it?

Absolutly beautiful!

 

[Ruby pen turning]

No... The knot is Cocobolo fit into table saw blade width cuts

Brian, the before look good, but the blue end on it looked funny with nothing else blue on the rest of the pen. the after looks great

 

[TBCbushings]

[Drstrangefart]

Yup. Good call. The blue thing was really, really distracting.

 

[boxerman]

Brian, I am glad you figured it out on your own, and the second pen was the best you did.

WOW! What a change a small piece of wood made! That turned a good looking pen into a great one. Congratulations.

I agree with Charles..you did "transform" a good looking pen into a gorgeous one!! You did a beautiful job with the pen itself and the cap! Thanks for showing. Regards, Doc
