osage knight
first spekky pen i have made for a week or so been a bit busy on another project ( routed sign )and making a bulk lot of cheaper pens to be engraved for souvenirs .
anyway my eldest son scored for me a small bit of osage orange the other day so i cut a few blanks from it with the grain and cut a few cross cut ( becoming a fan of the cross cut timber) and turned one blank up and fitted it to a gold knight pen .please excuse the dust on the pen in the pic i always have trouble wiping the dust off for pic taking , i think its the static charge i carry all the time .'If the enemy is in range, so are you.'

Nice bit of timber there and a smart looking pen.
Reality is no background music.

Osage has such vibrant colour, it does go darker with age though, great pen. Amos

great lookin' pen mate
it must be the traditional archer in me but i do like the look of osage, they call it mock orange around here
i think it looks better as it starts to turn brown
great job

As time goes on and my levels of experience grows I am more and more drawn to crosscut timbers for added attraction to sometimes bland bits of wood
that shows off the best of grain and color ,well done cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

thank you people , only trouble is the more i look at the pic the worse the pen looks .
for some reason ( maybe the angle or some thing) but it looks like its a bad fit at the nib end , but is actually not, it is a good fit . i never had much room on the card in my camera so i only took 2 pics and i normally take half a dozen and pick the best of em , but with that pen i only took 2 , one with flash and one without and neither were much good but i whacked it up anyway .
have to empty out the camera cards today after i fix the headlight on the ute and a few other jobs.'If the enemy is in range, so are you.'

Nice looking. I like OO and turn quite a bit of it. Too bad it doesn't keep that color.
BTW, are you saying you have a magnetic personality?
