Black Walnut Burl pens made from Treebones wood

I like it, I will have to start turning, I tried a large lathe a while back was lots of fun.
Fine looking pen.

Nice. BZ

whats on the second one??

-- The hard work won't take too long, the impossible will take a little longer

Those are the natural defects in the burl itself.

Very cool. These seem real dark. What do you use for the finish?

I used my own make of walnut oil/beeswax blend.

The Walnut oil must darken it down some more? I use Watco Danish Oil Natural and that darkens a lot by itself. Sometimes I like the satin poly finish because it keeps some of the liter red colors of the Claro Walnut.
