Unusable Wood Zen

[fiferb]

It's been awhile since I posted a pen because I haven't done anything new. Well, here are two firsts for me, my first Zen and my first casting a piece of burl with alumilite. I think it's red mallee on a black Ti Zen. Hole and tube are painted black. Thanks for looking and a special thanks for comments.

Wow Bruce, that looks great.

Looks really sweet Bruce. I don't see what's unusable about it.

 

[GoodTurns]

if that's unusable...send it my way...it'll get used!

That's a nice looking combination of wood and Allumilite (I like the color contrasts) and you've made a great looking pen from it.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Actually, I didn't make this clear before but the Alumilite is clear, the black color is from spray painting the drilled hole with black spray paint. I like the way it shows the depth of the wood this way.

Bruce, are you saying that the black is showing the tube color not the Alumilite?

Yes, I painted both the brass tube and the inside of the blank after drilling. The alumilite is clear.

Now that pen certainly has WOW factor. A beauty.

Thats a winner! Can't wait to see it in person.

That's Nice Bruce. I like the way the clear looks with the tube painted. It adds a depth to the blank. I just completed a clear cactus with blue tubes. AWESOME!!!

Looks amazing. Nice finish. I wish i were smart enough to find something wrong but I can't.

GREAT looking pen Bruce! It is much more than just a keeper. Love the way you did the clear over the black.
