I've been thinking about this one for awhile, but the light came on a few weeks ago and I finally jumped in and created this one. It's African Blackwood and Yellowheart with Aluminum inlays. CA finish sanded to 12,000mm and finished with Stick Fast CA Gloss Polish. I've been looking for an alternative CA to Stick Fast, and finally have settled in Starbond. Have tried 4 or 5 other brands and this is the brand I feel that works best, at least for me. No more cracks in the finish.

Was entered last week in the annual Idaho Artistry in Wood Show and Competition. Took first in Pens and 2nd in Show for Wood Turnings out of 105 pieces entered.

Thanks for looking---Rich

Wow that is the most amazing pen, your segmenting is prefect and is your fit and finish, it's easy to see how your took first place. It is a true masterpiece. I just became your master (teacher) so you need to send it to me.
