Very Nice Stan... I've tried pink ivory a couple of times but had such bad luck, haven't tried for a while.. That is a pretty pen... girls should love it.

I've learned my lesson with PI, snakewood, etc. I rough turned these blanks a few months ago and let them crack. Fill with CA and sawdust to make cracks invisible and turn to final dimensions. Let sit a couple of weeks to see if it wants to crack anymore. Finish and assemble.

Great pen.

Stan,
Did you say a "little curl?" That's the curliest PI I've ever seen. My closed end gizmo is still sitting in my shop, unused. I just seem to be collecting tools. Oh well, it beats not having them. Nice work on the pen. It's gorgeous.

[GBusardo]

Awesome!!! That is one great looking pen. Who is the lucky recipient?
I like your idea about letting it sit for a while. I turned a pen and pencil set last year to give as a gift and it has yet to crack. I guess i was just lucky.

Very sharp. Where did you get the pink ivory with the curl?
