Spalted Maple

[ValleyBoy]

A few weeks back Terry Q posted some stabilised spalted maple for sale on here so I gave to a go and it arrived a couple of days ago.

Its really lovely stuff and I wish I had asked for more. Anyway thanks Terry, and here is what I made with it.

Cheers

Yet another very nice looking example of your skill at pen turning! I wish you’d post something rubbish from time to time ... only joking!

Another cracking pen. Very nice

Brilliant, I like the contrast of the high gloss acrylic against the less glossy wood finish too
