[benson09876]

I turned this tody, it is for a coworker of my wifes. It is Bethleham Olive wood on a PSi Designer kit. I sanded to 600 Applied 3 coats of CA sanded to 600 again then applied 8 coats of CA/BLO sanded to 2000 and ploished with Maquires Plastix.
I guess i still need to work on my photo skills.:biggrin:

Ha!! And who doesn't!? Although not a fan of Euro's...you did a great job on the finish and wood selection. Keep it up!

Very nice! Love the grain. Your Fit-&-Finish are spot on!

That a great looking pen. I've recently become a fan of the Euro. I like it much better than a slimline.

I am a fan of the Euro... this was the style of pen I learned to turn pens on... my first 3-4 pens were Euros and I have two of them that I still use as my everyday pens... one is from Olive wood-probably a Calif. olive... none of the figure as in yours., the other a nondescript wood, that I don't remember what it was.

BOW is one of my favorite woods... I've never seen a piece that wasn't beautiful... so is your pen.
