Love it Dan. I just wish there was a way to pop off that centerband on the new Gent 2 kits to customize it. Nice job on the finial!

The look is so very classic and I also think with the finish you have put on makes the walnut wood a perfect choice to this traditional look... a great detail touch is the finial.

I would hardly call that piece of wood "regular", Dan :wink:

I agree with Steve about the center band. Just not a fan of the black on many of the pens...however, sometimes, it just accents your blank and makes a pen special.
As for your work and the blank,
All First Class! Really Great job!
I have used some walnut left overs from our family room flooring for pens. You can really find some nice grain patterns!

Great job, get all the walnut wood you can, I understand there is a bug out there trashing the walnut tree
That is a stunning piece of walnut. Great job.

Nothing wrong with walnut, you did well. I agree I wish the ring could be popped off. The finial looks awesome

That's one gorgeous piece of walnut. I've used a lot of walnut in a lot of projects over the years, but I've never had a piece that looked like that.

Great looking pen. I do like a nice wooden pen and you made this look great.
Dan..I love your wood finishes. I am not really a wood-pen guy, but I may become one if I could achieve your finish. I have made about 6 CA wood pens; and I would give mine a B+. Would you mind sharing your process with me/us?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Tony, check out the pens plus thread I started to begin. I'll post my very simple routine soon.
It couldn't be much easier. Super simple which is why I'm Doug more of this and less ca.
This finish is not quite the heavy ca result, but is pretty darn good.
Wow Dan that a great looking pen, the blank has great color and grain pattern, top notch fit and finish.
