Sorry guys I'm having problems uploading photos this was the third time I did it. I tried to copy & paste from my photobucket account but it didn't work. It said successful upload but the pics are not on WR.
Well here is the pen that JimVH sent me a Wallstreet pen. I was going to make a Celtic Knot but after the first glue up the blank was to twisted & warped to continue so I went to Woodcraft & got that same type (Jim they didn't have any stabilized ones so got just a same type of wood) Well I had two knots so I blackened parts of the knots to make them stand out & with the sap wood & the red & blackened knots the color contrast came out pretty good. It does look ma lot better in person then the pic shows.
I hope you like it Jim. The Wallstreet is a easy pen to turn.
Leo no idea what type of wood it has red & some sap wood. I think the one blank that Jim sent me was he thought a stabilized burl I got as close to it as I could but it only said red burl on the blank I bought? so your guess is better then mine.

Bama,
I myself love the Wallstreet type of pens their easier for me to write with cause it's larger then a SL.
Hey Chuck, it looks great. Thanks for the effort. I'm sorry you had to go buy a blank, I meant to send a spare, but I found it this afternoon while cleaning up my bench. I'll make good on it. I'm really jazzed-up... can't wait to get it!
Jim,
Don't worry about it it was my fault. I tried to do a Celtic knot on a warped, twisted blank I should have known better.I just hope you like the colors in person.
