Thread: White Oak Closed End

Awesome work and an awesome piece of timber.

Well done hehe, and like riding a bike once learned never forgotten ,may have some initial wobbles but soon comes back, and you have learned no wood is useless ,I often buy shorts of nice stuff as many kits only need a half blank , those look pretty damn fine to me ,the only bit of white oak I have turned came from a distillary where they usr the American white oak for the giant storage vats,interesting grain, but nothing like you are showing here . Cheers ~ John

Very nice pen.

That is one classy pen!!

Love the timber and the shape.

Nice work, thats a great looking pen.

The shape, fit and finish would look good with even a plain wood, but that piece of Oak really sets it apart.

Thanks everyone....I too often become amazed by the prices of some pieces. But White Oak is so overlooked that it is cheap(sometimes so cheap that people won't even purchase it, thinking it's a dud).

The shape seems to please most that look at it in person, but I'm always thinking it needs a bigger 'flare' on the closed end.... Then again, I'm my own most critic, never happy with anything I make(you know what I mean).


Scott (wow, that grain is in there) B
