    Red face Buckeye Burl on a clicker

    Even with the air conditioner running in the garage(wife has a portable unit that vents out the garage door), it still is kind of hot. Got it from a humid/hot 56%/95*F-heat index of 106*F, down to 88*F!!
    Anyway, no one cares if I was trying to keep from melting.....


    Made one! I know, kind of weird for me, but it is what it is. Herre is a piece of timber from a trade with someone probably a couple years back, and I just don't remember whom to give the credit to....sorry. Even with the use of HDR, it's hard to get into the swirly grain in the darker areas.....it's really there.

    Buckeye Burl(naturally dark) on an Executive Clicker:





    Considering I mowed and weedwhacked two yards, and then washed two vehicles, I think I deserve some rest! And maybe an adult beverage or six?

    great character in buck eye, i have seen a piece that i don't like and this is no exception

    i like to open my imagination and look at the pictures in the patterns, you have a fire brumby in that one, top picky about a third of the way up from the nib

    all the best

    I have no idea what a 'fire brumby' is, but it sounds gnarly!


    Thanks for the kind words!!
