Thread: A dark buckeye burl Emperor

One superb pen
CA fumes I think
oh alright I see what you mean - maybe NASA will buy it!

That's a fine advertisement for buckeye burl, cisco, very dramatic! love it!

Must get some of the CA you're using too...

Absolutely beautiful Al, Attachment 86473

What a great blank and choice of kit to blank, fir and finish is first class.Attachment 86474

Your running way out there gonna be hard to catch.

Wicked pen Cisco - definitely got some star gazing qualities there!!

Well, more like the storms on Jupiter than distant galaxies, but it does have that definite cosmic swirl thing happening.

Well done.

when words fail! Al, that is a superb blank, and you did it justice with the fit and finish and the kit colour also. A gold Emperor may have taken away from the beauty of the blank. Indeed a space age pen the beauty of the spheres!
Now a space age box with just a picture of the universe as an inlay and then WOP, would probably set it off majestically. Amos (say who is that little green man eyeing the pen? could it be a Martian? is it another alien? No! It's an envious pen turner!

WOW!!
Very nicely done!

That is a really nice pen.

I like how the timber has the contrast between the dark greens and bright oranges.

Not very often you see the contrasting colors come through.

I really like that pen. After seeing all these Buckeye burl pens and how good they look, I am going to bite the bullet and make one with the bit I have in the garage.

I'm not a particularly sentimental bloke and I don't tend to give nicknames to cars, let alone pens. (I reserve them for my hand tools. )

But somehow "Constellation" strikes me as a good one for this particular pen...

Right you are, Skew! Thank you for the kind comments, guys. My wife took one look at it and said, "too dark". While I think it may be a bit dark for a ladies pen, it should make for a fine gentlemans pen.
