JR Gents Spalted Apple

[Jim]

I had this Spalted Apple blank left that Woody sent over to me, but it was too small to make both blanks on a JR Gents Rollerball, so i decided to put in a patch of Beech and Blackwood to make up the size .. Given a friction polish finish it turned out ok'ish ..

Strange as it might sound Jim I think that pattern would be better with plain woods.
None the less a fantastic pen init?

Nicely turned pen Jim
I love the spalted apple, but not sure about the patches

 

[Buckeye]

It's a cracker, but I think CA would probably have been a better finish.

A very nice pen Jim, but I'm with Brian that the apple might have been better on its own.

Clever and I like it.

Nice pen Jim but I have to agree with Brian and Paul in thinking a plainer wood would have been better. Nowt wrong with the turning though !!!!

We'll, I like it, adds a bit of interest and saved the pen! Nice one Jim.

Nice touch, but...... I disagree with the other old codgers on here Jim.. I believe it's done justice to an otherwise piece of wood that would not have made it on to a pen of that quality so I believe that the wood has allot to thank you for..

Ignore the oldies and senile and listen to the young wipper snappers..:wink:

The band would look out of place if it didn't complement the colour of the apple, but this is spot on Jim, really like this.
