First Spalted Pen...

[rowdyyates115]

This is my first spalted pen, JR Chrome Rollerball in Spalted Apple from the generous Woody..

Had a nightmare, the CA glue this pen blank drank was unbelievable. But I remembered the words of wisdom from Woody use plenty of CA and keep skew sharp and take is slow.
Finally got there.....

What you think?

That's a beauty Rowdy..the chrome looks good with the wood . I am still to turn my share yet,too scared as I haven't had much luck with spalted stuff so far !

 

[Woody]

That's an amazing looking pen Rowdy was it worth the extra effort you had to put in it looks it

Wow Rowdy that is a very nice looking pen may have to beg Woody for a bit Frankie
