Nice pen RT---Bill sent me a Gold Desert Ironwood blank---can't wait to try it---but, it may be after the first of the year now---I have a Platinum El Grande Fountain Pen Kit---not sure yet if I'll try it on that---

Beautiful pen. You did that blank proud!

I got a couple of those blanks and have'nt got around to turning them, after looking at your photo I think I'll move one up to my to-do shelf.

Thanks Wayne, yeah I didn't think it would turn out as nice as it did, because the blank looked kind of blah. But it ended up having some nice looking grain and good color. So let's get on the stick and get that blank turned. []
