    Spalted Oak Burl Baron

    Hi,

    Well another solid end pen, I have made about 15 in the last two weeks, a few have been looking worth posting

    This is a stabilized spalted oak burl on a sterling Baron roller ball.



    The blank had some natural burl voids that felt nice, so I left them to enhance the natural look and feel of the pen.



    The finish is a wet microsanded surface (MM> 12,000) followed by a micro plastic polish.

    Critiques are most welcomed
    Take care,
    Jim
