Chrome Vertex in amboyna burl

This *was* going to be a beautiful pen before I cracked the finish pressing it together--the coupler on one end was crooked. I showed it to SWMBO, planning on taking it apart and starting over, when she took it, held it, and declared it hers.

Oh well. Might as well show it off since I can't sell it. You can just see the cracks near the nib.

I always hate it when that happens, those pens for me turn into giveaways

Nice. You might see if thin CA might wick its way into the crack.

What a beautiful pen / wood combination. Sorry to hear of the issues but you've got a really stunning combination.
