Spalted apple...

Hi, Guys,

Here's a nice Euro I made earlier in my freezing cold workshop. The apple came from Woody. Thanks, Woody!

Kind regards Peter

Hi, guys, Many thanks for your comments!
Yes, this wood ex Woody has certainly produced some fine pens on this forum!
Doug, After sanding to 1500, I gave it a wipe of BLO, waited for that to dry, then 3 coats of BLO and CA. Used these instead of friction polish because the wood was a bit soft and needed a bit of "backbone" to resist dents, etc.

A pen worthy of your expertise Bob well done my friend

That's lovely spalting and a lovely finished pen. I have an Apple tree trunk halved length wise then split into two, happily spalting away. I hope it get somewhere as nice as that one.
