Had a special order from someone that got one of our pens as a gift from a customer. This will be a gift to the customer that bought hers. The wood is none other than Nolan's DIW burl. Doesn't get any better than that. Also the customer wanted a finer nib as the standard nib that comes with the Statesman writes a bit too wide. Well DCBluesman came to the rescue with the Heritage SF fine point which is .60mm verses the Dyacom .85mm. Can't wait to hear how it writes as the price for these nibs is great. Finish is CA and we will not talk about how many coats were applied. [B)] Needless to say the first several coats seemed to soak into the sap wood of the DIW. Boy was I wrong. Pain in the rear but probably the best finish we have done yet.
