DIW Burl Elegant Sierria Update!!

I entered this pen and a small hollow form in the Pittsburgh Fantasy in Wood turning competition..
The pen took first place and the hollow form took second. Just had to gloat!!!!



Finaly got around to finishing this blank that I got from Nolan last year..only took about 5 tries to get a decent CA finish on it. but it was a nice blank and I didnt want to give up on it

I'd say that finish is more than decent. Very nice pen! I made the exact pen...

I was thinking the other day , that it's been awhile since I've seen DIWB . I didn't find any in my stash of blanks . That's a really nice pen , and staying with the finish paid off . Good work !

I like the shape you've given the pen. It flows nicely from nib to clip end. Beautiful piece of DIW and nice finish.
