Worm Tracks

[Splinter]

This is a JR Gentlemen pen I made today that I am calling "Worm Tracks". The wood is Curly Maple that worm(s) got into and added a little beauty to it. Note the dark spot on both sides of the upper barrel...this is the worm hole.

Very nice work Dolan! I love the way those little guys "paint" the wood. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I have often head this referred to as Ambrosia maple because the Ambrosia Beetle lays the eggs that hatch into the worms that make the tracks. It gives a really outstanding patterns in bowls and other larger turnings, as well as in pens. Nice job!

Very Nice Dolan. You and the bugs did that wood proud.

Nice job, Dolan. And my compliments to the "bugs" for the accents!

That's a very pretty pen, and the wormhole gives it a nice touch. Hmmm, might be a good product to market to Star Trek fans

Worm Holes? In wood? Really - who would have thought? :gar-Bi
