I believe Brandon you are a fortunate man, predicting the design from that blank, turning it well, presenting the way you have. The balance displayed one of my great loves timber the better casting of Barry. Many pens could have come from that blank according to your choice of kit, colour of kit nature of final use etc. Who can predict it would turn this way YOU did.
Exceptional work Lucky no way not everyone would have acheived that result.
Kind regards Peter.
