Hey guys,
So I have little time these days and I decided to make a nice gift to my mother.
As some of you probably know afzelia burl is my favorite wood. Nothing come close to what you see under, colors are just insane along with the figure.
That being said, I had countless fights with that wood. For those of you think I tend to always succeed, it is not the case. I went through many blanks without success.
That afzelia is not stabilized, soft as pine, it's got voids everywhere, in fact, this pen took me nearly 7 hours to turn and finish but I won.
I am satisfied, finally.
Clicky the thumbnails and watch out not fall off your chair, that wood is INSANELY GORGEOUS.
Thanks for looking,
Charles
