Nice looking cherry burl pen.

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.

NICE!!!.....

The one on the left could be "Quina" I just made a howler today from it and they look similar.

Purple Heart ??
Good lookin pens Glen.

Thanks guys.

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.

The cherry burl is, WAY cool....

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.

Very sharp Glen!

HaMeR · April 11, 2009, 09:46:50 PM

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.

I bet you're wishing now you would have waited for this one huh??

HaMeR · April 12, 2009, 07:17:22 AM

A couple more from that Cherry Burl.

Those are very pretty

I'd sure hate to hand paint that design on them.

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.

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.
