Another Driftwood Pen

[Amanap]

Found this piece of driftwood in about a foot of water on Sanibel Island and I knew it was going to look good. It was worse than most of the worm eaten driftwood I have found and very fragile.

Dried, stabilized with Cactus Juice and cast in Alumilte Clear Slow with Caribbean Blue pigment from Black Diamond. Didn't think I would have enough for a two tube kit so I went with the Liberty from McKenzie Penworks.

Ooh, that's nice! Great way to use that wood. It looks like crystal blue water surrounding tropical islands. Kind of takes me away as I watch the snow coming down outside.

Nice!! Much better, actually way better, than any drift wood I've ever turned. Great job!

Thank you, I have seen your work so that is a hell of a compliment.
