Slimline Amerello.

Your basic slimline pen in Amerello (canary wood I think)

Finished with CA/BLO then coated with 3 coats of lacquer.

I just like yellow ;-)

That's good work Andy. I like the way the pen looks like it has a bit of weight.

Cheers Brendan

That was one of the things that shocked me. It polished up like glass, and looked like it should weigh alot more. The good thing is: I have loads more of this wood. About 2 meter "plank" thats 3 inches deep and 4 wide.

Nice looking pen, Andy. Looks like you achieved a very nice transition from wood to metal.

BTW, what you have here is called Pau Amarello or Yellowheart. I've also seen it spelled amarillo, pronounced AM-UH-REE-YO. Canarywood has a very distinct sweet smell when cut into. It reminds me of cooking pralines, a candy made from sugar and pecans.

Thank you.

I had a feeling i had either got the name wrong, or simillar. It "was" written on the actual wood in pencil, which over time became very indistinct. At least I now know exactly what it is: back with the pencil I go..
