7" twist

[Dale Lynch]

Hi everyone, here is the finished pen from my tutorial.

I do not know what wood the cap and body are.I thought it was Bocote,but compared to the bocote section I have doubts.Any help would be apprediated.

The finish is the first time using laquer.First was a coat of seal coat then 2 coats of gloss aerosol laquer.Then I rubbed it out with steel sool and wax.After thet I used scratchout scratch remover to shine it back up.












Closed length 7" x 1/2"

open 6 3/4"

cap 2 1/4"

Body 4 7/8

nose 1 3/4"

Weight 24g
Comments and critiques welcome,thanks for looking.

I like it! Nicely done!

Are you using a friction fit for the nib to the body? And also for the cap?

Very nice

Thanks fellas.

Yes it is a friction fit.The section fits snugly.Don't want it to tight or the barrel will split.The cap is friction also but not as snug so it doesn't pull out the section.
