Cherry Pen

This was my first all Cherry wood pen.  We have plenty of cherry wood scraps because of a Cherry tree that fell in our back yard a few years ago that my dad had taken to the mill to be cut into boards.  But up until now I was busy experimenting with the different woods in my dads variety pack.  But when most of that was used up I turned to the Cherry boards.  I really like Cherry.  But for some reason I think that in a pen it's not as red as I would like.  Maybe it's because it doesn't have the natural clear stain finish that I've seen used.  But regardless, you will see in the next few pen uploads that since I have a good amount of Cherry and Maple to play with I use those the experiment with different designs.
