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.

:eek: That's a beautiful looking pen! That wood....where's the face with the drool coming out of the mouth??? Such an amazing turn
 
Very nice timber!

I see thousand of Cedar trees every week, but I've yet to lay my eyes on a burl on any of them....but I'm patiently waiting.

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.
 
Nice job Robert, I told you yellow cedar burl is awesome :biggrin: Hope the piece I sent you turns as nice for you.
