That's swell looking.
I've got some figured mango and retro kits waiting for me to get to 'em.
That's good motivation right there.

That mango is some scary wood. The whole time I turned it I kept worrying about a blow out because it is so light. Kept the tools sharp and it did fine. My blood preasure was a little hight though.[]

Great job and handsome looking pen.

Mike...I just saw your Mango pen. Very nice...I missed it! Was your blank stabalized? This one was...I didn't feel it was going to blow or that it was light. I will use Mango again... Thanks all for the nice words...
