Thread: Conkerberry Bamboo

Very Nice.

I have the same problem (well not so much as holes more like great gaping voids!) with the last bits of conkerberry I have so I will attempting to cast them with some contrasting acrylic.

beautiful pen there Amos

a friend gave me a few pieces of Conkerberry a while ago and he told me that all the trees they have ever cut down are full of voids and holes

it is a very nice wood though and a dense timber

A truly beautiful pen Amos!!!

Amos,

Conkerberry and Bamboo this I have to see now I know the Bamboo is neat the Conkerberry is interesting. Having found Conkerberry to be an exquisite timber over the long number of years now it still has that hold on me. Good to see you out and about mate.

Kind regards Peter.

Excellent pen Amos the finish is masterly.

Hi Amos

I am surprised that you can get conkerberry in that size.

Wow. A really nice pen.

Timberbits.

Another beaut as usual mate!
Well done.

Thanks Peter, and thanks all for your comments, struggled a little lately, trying to get back into it. I think that larger voids and worm holes need to be cast in a coloured resin, next thing, try and remember how to cast?!!! Amos

Another of your better pens hehe! if you forget how to cast some color mixed into epoxy works well for the smaller jobs Cheers ~ John

Thanks John, may try that for some individual blanks, Amos

Wow Amos that's a killer pen top notch job as always
