Haven't built a pen in awhile. Retro style Fountain pen in Desert Ironwood Burl with CA finish.

Tremendous lookink blank and a nicely finished pen.Not sure I like that flared centre band.

Thanks guys..I offered up some of these at a way cheaper price than I normally see, but guess there wasn't any interest. The wood has fantastic dimension that I can't do justice with my camera. I'm not about to go stand out in the sun with my camera for a better picture...oh, there is no sun, just dark clouds of the impending doom of snow on the horizon, and nasty cold temperatures.

Very Classy. Love the blank.

Excellent work Jeff. That is a beautiful piece of wood and you made an outstanding pen from it. I am a huge fan of the natural woods.
It always amazes me to see what Mother Nature has come up with.
You only get a hint of the depth from the picture, and it still looks great.

Very nice work.

I haven't been in my shop for 3 months, just been way too cold.

Beautiful pen. I have that exact kit, need to find something to put on it.

Retro is CSUSA. Try not to make the same mistake I did...I bought the bushings and drill bits not knowing that they are the same as the Jr Gent/statesman II
