Unknown Wood On A Chrome Slimline Pen

[Jim]

This is the wood that Neil sent me, it turned very easy and had a very strong aromatic scent, i knew when turning that i know the smell but i couldn't put a name to it and at one point i was thinking Raspberry ....

Placed on a chrome plated slimline pen kit and coated with a CA finish ...

Where did my comments go?
I was sure I posted on this.
Damn I can't remember what I said now but I am sure it was a nice comment.
As I always do, I love that colour and grain pattern, A well chosen piece of wood to make a masterpiece young Jim.

I have an alarm system working on here George, it goes off when you make a nice comment ... Sadly it hasn't gone off today ...

Great work Jim, fantastic finish too!

Jim,

Lots of people close on the guess work, you included aromatic red cedar is a variant on this. ARC is technically Juniperus Virginaia, the US variant on Juniperus Communis, which this is, a juniper tree! Jim, You've got a cracking finish on that pen, did you use EEE then CA?

Along with it being a beautiful wood the aroma is very strong, and sure clears the nasals ... Neil, i used a small amount of BLO on the wood and left it a few hours before adding the CA finish ...
