Box Elder Burl Pen with Aluminum Spots
This is a very unique dyed Box Elder Burl pen. There are 12 aluminum spots on the body of the pen. How did I get the spots in there? I'm glad you asked ;) I carefully drilled the holes, then inserted an aluminum rod in the hole, cut it off, then turned it. Yep, it takes a while to do all that.
So what is a burl? A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress. It may be caused by an injury, virus, or fungus. Most burls grow beneath the ground, attached to the roots as a type of malignancy that is generally not discovered until the tree dies or falls over. I love working with burl wood because of the uniqueness of what you get when turned.

Construction
The very first thing I do is hand select each piece and then turn the pen to its final shape. The pen is then sanded 7 times with progressively finer grits of sandpaper, to create a very smooth surface. Multiple different glues and waxes are applied to protect the pen for years of hard use. Each pen goes through a 21 step process to achieve the lustrous polished to a mirror-like shine.
Your Pen will come in a black or blue velvet pen case as shown in the picture. The pen that you see in the pictures is the one you will receive.
