I couldn't resist the opportunity to share a picture of some of my work. Nothing fancy, but I think it looks pretty good and is going to be irresistable for a lover of fine pens.
The hardware is my first purchase of a somewhat better quality kit. I got it from Woodcraft. It's their Wall Street II line. I got two of each of the four available finishes, all shown here. The wood is four different species/kinds: Big Leaf Maple burl, Spalted Red Elm, Red Flame Box Elder, and Black Walnut, all from a very good seller on eBay (if anyone is interested I'll share his user ID).
This is the big Leaf Maple Burl. I'll be working on getting some better photos in the future. These were quick shots to keep in my archive. I gave away one of the pens the day after I took the photos to a coworker who retired with around 30 years or more of service. He was surprised and absolutely thrilled to receive the pen as a personal gift from me. It's times like those that make it all worthwhile.
