Royal Feathers

I still have to get my camera work under control. Here is the first of a pair of Jichimu imperials (the other will be a fountain) that are intended to be part of a desk set. The wood is a pleasure to work -- it reminds me of miniature fumed oak.

Great looking pens. Will you be bringing these to the chapter meeting in two weeks so we can get up close and personel with them?

That's a beautiful pen Marc. Going to make for a very handsome desk set.

Very nice looking Jichimu pen you got there Marc.
Did you do a CA finish to give the grain some depth?

I've got a pair to turn also and after seeing how beautiful yours turned I may have to think about doing mine sooner than planned. Just can't decide on what pen kit yet.

Beautiful pen Marc.

The blank was turned normally, sanded out to 400 then alternate coats (3) of medium CA and light sanding then mm up o 12k and then polishing cream.
