I just finished this pen and it is my very first one. It is not a real good one but I had a few problems with it. I could see a few mistakes as I put it together but next time I can do a better job of making a pen. After all I only have been turning for 2 days and this wood was so hard to work with. I will keep this pen so later in the future after making a few more of these, then I can look back and see if I had made any good progress. The wood had holes in it but I got around that ok. I can see I did not get down to the bushings like I wanted to. The twist doodad got bent and I was able to fix that and the pen writes real nice and the tip of the ink cartridge does not come all the way out for writing, but that was a problem I had with getting the twist thing down far enough. I'm proud of this pen any way. The wood is olivewood.. Thanks for looking at it... Fay
