Well, now that I have bored you to death with pen pictures, here is the last batch to share for a while. The colored pens are spalted hackberry that I stabilized myself with Minwax Wood Hardener and Transtint dye. The non-colored pen on the left if Tigerwood and the one on the right is spalted pecan.
I have a potential client I am hoping to build a new home for that loves pink so I made the pink spalted hackberry for her. My spalted pecan material I am selling I get from her husband so the pecanis for him with his wood.
The blueish one is spalted hackberry with a tigerwood centerband instead of the stock one with the slimline kit. I think it would have looked better with it being a little narrower but it was my first attemp at modifying a kit. It came out perfect as far as the fit goes. Obviously I made the centerband and barrel larger than the normal slimline just to make it different.
Thanks for looking!
