    It is always disappointing when you can see something startling in a piece you make, and can't make it show up in a photo. Even without the fluoro green it looks great.

    WOW!
    Terrific looking piece of Black Locust Burl!
    The Modified Slim really shows off the timber.
    Fit and finish from here looks excellent.
    Well done.

    some nice colours there . the timber of the black locust or robinia is a very good furniture timber or any sort of woodworking so if theres any availablel grab it.its the same olive green clour as the pen and back in the days when they built ships with dowels instead of nails this is what they used, so im told .its very stong along the grain

    That is truly a stunning piece of timber and a really great looking pen. It's a pleasure when a blank like that comes your way.
    Reality is no background music.
