jr. gentlemen's pen in stabilized box elder burl

[Jeffrey Fusaro]

this was my first time using a stabilized pen blank. pretty nice to work with. for the finish, i sanded to 12000mm and applied renaissance wax.

i was pleased with the results. regarding the finish and the wood figure, i think this was the nicest pen that i have made, to date.

i am using "past tense" when referring to this pen since it left my possession immediately after being photographed. it was a "thank you" gift for our daughter's speech therapist.

i wish the pics were better, but this was my first time using my new phrugal photo tent. i need to spend more time sorting out the lighting and the placement of bounce cards.

thanks for looking.

Very nice looking pen. I'm sure the speech therapist will enjoy it. I think your photos look pretty good too.

Great looking pen Jeffrey! I just turned my first stabilized blank a few weeks ago. Good stuff!

Great looking pen Jeff - I am sure it will be appreciated!

Awesome! I love the stabilized BEB. Is that from CUSA? It looks almost exactly like my recent fair-winner! We must be on the same wavelength. ;)

Your photos are looking great. Slight light tweaking might help, but it looks like you're essentially all set!
