Black Palm!!!!

[crokett]

Until last night, Black Palm was always my undoing. I figured out what was wrong with the Princeton I asked about in another thread. The ends of the barrel of the pen were't properly squared. I managed to get the pen apart and the Princeton is now dressed in Black Palm. This will be my new carry pen.

Nice pen. Palm can be a challenge.......

Ive heard it described as a bundle of loose matchsticks
Id love a nice pen with that stuff but man does it ever have my name

I also think black palm makes a great pen, but man it is an adventure to turn. Looks great.

Love black Palm. Also cross cut black Palm looks fantastic. Nice job on yours.

Great job David! Is that a ca finish and how many coats did it take?

That is CA. 6 coats, then micromesh, then polish. I don't normally put anything other than wax on my wood pens but since black palm is so porous I decided it would be better to have it on there. Also with this style pen you are not gripping the finish, as you would on a slim line.
