Black Palm Scales

[Les ELm]

Black Palm Scales on Maple by Kenneth Wines that I turned and finished with 6 coats of MINWAX Clear Satin Polyurethane using my Dipping Method to get that wood feel.
I find using a Gloss finish on wood makes it look and feel too much like the plastic look that you get with a CA finish.
Dressed up on a Black Titanium / Platinum Elegant Beauty Sierra frame.

I've been looking at this pen for a bit wondering how the blank is made, but I gave up and just enjoyed the pen. Great job.

Ken uses a laser to do his blanks.
