Title: Nice looking cherry burl pen.
Post by: HaMeR on April 10, 2009, 08:21:20 PM
I don't know what the pencil on the left is made of. It's a pink wood but it's not Pink Ivory. I know the pen on the right is cherry burl tho.  :yoyo:

Thanks guys.  :yoyo:  Quina could be what it is. It's not near dark enough for the other woods mentioned. Tulipwood is way too light also. This almost looks like a dyed wood but I don't think it is. And the Cherry Burl is just way cool. The dark grain lines are the beginning of spalting I think.

Thanks guys. But as always Mother Nature has more to do with the finished product than I do. I gladly give all the credit to those above me.  :wink:

Thanks Jerry & Brad!!

Brad-- That stuff turned like a dream & was dry. I'm gonna drill some more with the 1/4" hole & give it a couple weeks & re-drill it again.  :yoyo:  I bet you're wishing now you would have waited for this one huh??   :eyebrow:

Glen has been taking private lessons from Dave Paul.  They can both take a piece of pine and make it look like any exotic wood you want.  I think I heard Glen say that you just have to use the right sized brush to get the burl to look right.   :biggrin:  I am not that talented and have to use a real exotic to even get it to look a little bit like it should.  But, I am just not as talented as them.

Aw now come on!!!  I'm merely another pawn in Mother Natures scheme to bring this stuff to life.  :wink:   And besides,, they aint that hard to paint. Just give it a couple coats of Krylon!!  :laf:
