Good looking pen Brian. I bought a chunk of Myrtle Burl and it doesn't look that good.
I've never seen anybody put a cove in the cap barrel on this kit before. The wood is only .042" thick if you turn BTB. It must be really thin in the center of that barrel.

Did you get the Myrtle from Rocky? I love the stuff I got from him and can't wait till I have an excuse to buy more. He even threw in a piece of redwood lace as a bonus in my order.

Nope, no Rocky, not familiar with him. I bought a large turning block and cut a couple blanks from it to try it out. Yours has definitely got more figure. I'll probably use the rest of mine to make something else, pepper mill, candle holder, something like that.
