Nice material choice, and good job on keeping the grain matching, of course this seems a bit of a waisted effort on a twist pen. but I also do it all the time. I would like to know your thoughts on your finish. there is nothing wrong with it, I am just wondering if it is what you wanted.
the photo could be hiding a lot of details though. so i think you should send the pen directly to me for a closer inspection.

I used a friction lacquer. I would have preferred a bit more shine which i do get now since i changed my finish. I started using the Hut bar. I am more then satisfied with its performance. On my 6th pen. A Perm Cigar (Black) in orange wood.
