Burl Pens
« on: November 18, 2015, 01:50:16 PM »
Anyone that follows me on IG knows I'm obsessed with burls so I wanted to post some recent ones here since I've been MIA recently :O Plus the burl grains are so much nicer on a larger screen.

These are my carved ergonomic holders and they're pictured without a flange except for one.

Wow wow wow Heebs. Seeing them on a tiny iPhone is one thing - seeing them on a big computer screen is another. I don't blame you one bit for the obsession - each one is absolutely stunning in its own way, and you've made them into works of art!

Love that dyed spalted maple! What wonderful pieces of wood you picked out to work with. The patterns are exquisite and have beautiful depth and nice flow across the whole length of the holders. Just wonderful! (It must have been really neat to see these lovely patterns appear when you finished these pieces)
