Nice bunch!
Question, what finish was used on these? If CA, I want to know if it is pure CA or CA-BLO.
Thanks

You are developing a very nice collection of pens, I'll bet you can't wait to start turning some your self.

I sure do. It'll be exciting to finally have a pen I turned myself. I wanted to just started collecting rare woods to have on hand and couldn't stand not having a few pens made so I found a guy I like dealing with that is also a member.
