First Copper Pen

[melogic]

This is a copper European from Beartooth Woods. The blank is one of many different ones I received from Scott Greaves as a winner of one of the daily trivia questions during the Birthday Bash. I think it is a cross cut spalted <s>maple</s> beech blank. It is finished with Russ Fairfields CA/BLO finish technique. As always, comments and criticism are welcome!

Freaking awesome wood! The kit goes very well with it.
I would have turned the bottom barrel a little more down.

Very nice job all the way around,I really like the shape.

Wonderful everything. I actually like the shape of the pen. I favor the curve on the bottom barrel instead of a straight line.
Congratulations
