First without sanding

[Displaced Canadian]

I turned it down to 1/16 over did some sanding to level it then used a skew as a scraper to get it to final size and to avoid getting black sawdust in the maple, been there done that. My skew and I are not usually on speaking terms. Please let me know what you think.

Nice pen, I think the segmenting on the ends is awesome!
Good to see the use of a different technique also, your finish looks perfect.
