I made this Pen Box from mineral stained "Purple-Hearted" Tulip (Yellow) Poplar that was cut from a tree on my father's farm in SW Penna.
I previuosly posted the Ash Burl Pen set that I made for myself, also from a tree from my father's farm and decided to make myself a Pen Box for it. THanks Dennis Peacock and other's for their assistance on how to make it. It looks nice, but I'll bet the ebony knife box of Dennis' will make it look rather insignificant - but hey, ya gotta start somewhere! :D
I am not sure if the deep purple color will come out correctly in the picture, but any of you aout there that have been exposed to the mineral stained yellow poplar can sure appreciate how it looks in person. I just hope it maintains the purple tint for some time to come.
Thanks for looking.
