    Spalded Cherry Pen

    I cut some blank stock from a cherry root a few months ago and left them in the shop vac to dry. This is the first pen. I really had trouble with the pen so I'm not too proud of it, but do want to show the wood. I hope to do a Cigar this evening from another blank.
    Thanks for looking.

      That wood is beautiful and I can see no reason that you shouldn't be proud of it.

            Very nice pen Ken.

            I think that like me, you are your own worst critic.

              That pen is unbelievable, Ken. Wow, I'd call that one a keeper.
