First Baron, First Burl

[Fishrule]

Obviously, I'm new to this. I bought the stabilized (also a first, come to think of it) Maple Burl from Bill at Arizona Silhouette. It turned easily. Applied my standard, non-stabilized wood finish of CA/BLO in case there were some rogue wood fibers that avoided the stabilization process, and voila!

Looking at it now, I think I should have turned a little bit of a curve to the cap blank, instead of a dead-straight line between the bushings. Something to apply to my next pen.

Hey, I like the "dead straight" lines. Don't go ruining pens with the bulge look.

Great looking pen, there is nothing wrong with straight lines the hardest thing is making them.

Congratulations on all your firsts you have done well.
