ruffneck bois d'arc and spalted redbud

[maverick31]

big thanks goes to cody for sending these, first one is bois d'arc in gunmetal. second is redbud in antique brass. I really love the look of these 2 kits. by far my favs. in the slimline style. thanks for looking i am glad doug posted all those pics of the antique brass one cause I really like it. It even looks better in person.

both are finished with ca/blo, then mm thru 12k and polished with eee.

Both very nice pens Mav. That Redbud looks like it has some real nice spalting going in it.

Those are my 2 favorite platings too - I'm still having a hard time deciding which of them I like better than the other.

They both look great, Mav.

I still think Doug bought all the remaining kits



The fit-n-finish looks great on both pens. And the wood to hardware matches up beautifully.

Well done Mav!
Fit and finish look great.
Good choice of plating to complement the timbers.
