This is my "daily driver". It's BOW with CA finish. It's not perfect, cap isn't even with centerband, but I like it.

Sweet, love that BOW. Is that some quilting or a little curl in the grain?

Nice...I love the BOW too... Everytime I see it, I lke it more and more.

Looks mighty fine to me! Regardless of what some folks say, not every pen turns out perfect. Sometimes we are our own hardest critics. I think it looks great.

I can see why you carry that pen, it looks great. Have you made any sales from it?

You should like that pen, Steve. It's well-finished and the small problem you had with the mating of the pieces gives you something to improve. Nice job!

Great looking pen.

Nice work, Steve. That BOW is made for pens!

Thanks guys. This one really does get a lot of attention where I work. I haven't started selling yet, still experimenting with finishes and such. Have been making lots of gift pens and have a network of "testers" at the moment.

This was my second attempt at BOW. My first was a disaster, I pushed it too hard when drilling and stuck the drill. Jammed it so tight I had to cut the blank away from the drill. Smelled great though. Love this stuff.

Nice looking finish. Overall, I like the pen. The BOW is a great looking piece of wood.
