Black Ash Executive

[woodmarc]

Tool a break from Santa's workshop and turn this pen this evening.

Black Ash Burl Executive
Kit: CSUSA Executive Roller Ball
Blank: BB @ AS. (Freebie)
Finish: BLO/CA with Friction Polish & Caranuba.

I could never get the CA finish to shine properly, took a chance with the friction polish and got what I was looking for. I like the fell of Caranuba on the pen and always apply that as the top coat to all of my pens.

Comments, Good, Bad and Ugly are needed.

Good looking wood,pretty nice for
a freebie!Finish looks good,is the
fit at the ribbed fitting on the cap proud
or is it just the way it sizes to the bushings?
Overall good looking work.[]
I've thought about trying this kit,
how would you rate it on quality?

I was wondering that too, may be because of the beading on the band. The one on the nib is dead nuts.

Nice job! Beautiful piece of wood.

Very fine looking pen. I don't recall seeing that style pen before. And, I'm not familiar with 'black' ash. Interesting combo.
