This is for a friend who gave me a cherry burl out of his yard. I posted the bowl a few weeks ago. Here's my way of saying thanks to him. Finished with CA glue.

Well done...among my favorite flavor of the Wall Street kits too.
Very nice "thank you" gift.

thanks guys. Next I hope to try a fountain pen out of the same wood. We'll see how it goes.

Rob, that looks like a great finish -- congrats! The transitions from wood to metal look very well executed too. If I had one small critique (and, caveat, this is a personal taste thing), it would be to reduce the "bubble" in the middle of the blank. For me the Wall Streets look better with a straighter tube. Personally I think they are easier to hold that way too.
Really well done!
