Robert Sherlock Member Joined Dec 4, 2009 Messages 1,069 Location Foothill Ranch, CA Dec 23, 2011 #1 This was a fun pen to make! The burl and eyes just jumped out as I was turning. About 15 coats of CA then wet sanded to 12000. Comments welcome.

Robert Sherlock Member Joined Dec 4, 2009 Messages 1,069 Location Foothill Ranch, CA Dec 24, 2011 #11 Hey guys, thanks for all the compliments. I had only seen cedar burl a few times here on IAP. I got one piece a year back and that is what you see here. I recently got a second piece from mrbuls and can't wait to see how that one turns out.
