European Elm and Chrome Ballpoint Twist Pen

EUROPEAN ELM - Ulmus procera

European Elm has a light to medium brown colour, sometimes with a hint of red heartwood with irregular, wavy cross grain which results in attractive figuring. With an oil finish, it can turn a beautiful golden brown colour The grain is quite coarse. Elm can turn brown/light grey.

Turned at Flecknoe just past Braunston on September 30th 2014 from a nicely figured piece of European Elm. I used just a few coats of boiled linseed oil and cyanoacrylate to finish this pen to retain the warmth of colour and touch of the natural wood.
