Curly Oak on a Slimline Pen

[Jim]

Not sure what this wood is to be honest, but it has the hallmarks of some type of Oak, so i have named it Curly Oak due to the pattern of the grain.. The C/B is a piece of Blackwood..

I used the D&M Pen Finish that Walter gave me at the meet last week, it does have a good shine and it feels good. But the jury is still out for me yet as i need to test it with a few more pens until I give my full opinion..

Very nice pen Jim. I agree with you on Walters finish but I am sure it will be good on certain blanks !!!!

 

[Walter]

Nice looking pen Jim. Good to hear some opinions on the finish.

(I tried burnishing it Terry with the same result as you, no difference)

That is a lovely looking pen made nicer by a striking piece of wood Jim. It looks to me like Holly oak which is also called Holm Oak or Tiger Oak. It looks like a tiger pattern to me.
