    Default MAPLEMAN's blackwood

    Hi folks,

    Just in case anyone was wondering - when MM says 'figured blackwood', he ain't kidding! Finished these up today from one of his blanks and decided they were worth showing off:





    The fiddleback runs through both pretty equally to my eyes, I just didn't really get a photo which shows it in both simultaneously...

    Cheers,

    Danny

    Lovely job - they look fantastic

    It could just be me, but the colour/tone of the figured timber really goes with those metal finishes on your kits. I'm not sure it would look as good with bright gold-coloured pen parts?

    Yeah, I really like this finish, it goes with just about anything! Plus the sierra and sierra vista match, so they make a good pair.

    I agree about the "he ain't kidding" part as I have some and some jacaranda, both of which are very nice. Top timber and very nicely turned pens as well.
