Copper Retro in Honduran Rosewood

[Ruby pen turning]

I just got some Beautiful Honduran Rosewood From Johnm ? and had to put it on my favorite kit.(although the craft show market does not seem to like it very much)
Of all the woods I have made pens from, Honduran Rosewood and figured Rosewood are my favs. Anyhoo I picked out the one that I thought looked best and made this.
Turned, sanded and around 6 coats of med CA then wet sanded through all the plastic pads.
I took about 50pics trying different settings and this is the best I could get right now.
Comments good/bad welcome. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I love the Jr Retro kit but find it hard to sell for some reason but this one sold right away.
It was my favorite pen to date.

Good fit and finish on a fine pen kit. The resulting pen is outstanding. Good work and congratulations.
