Snakewood one of my favorite woods and you did an outstanding job on it. Let us know how it fairs in a month or so.
He who dares turn the challenging is rewarded with beauty. Nice one.

Thanks everyone. I've taken this one really slow, took several days to drill, let it sit several weeks after drilling, after turning close to size I sealed with thin CA and let it sit for several days, and then finally turned to size and finish. We'll see what happens.

WELL done Bruce! Is that one for you? I have one snakewood that hasn't cracked and one that has.

No, not for me. I actually use a pen so seldom that a fountain pen dries up between uses. This is my second snakewood. So far the first has yet to crack. A friend of mine has it and I check it every time I see him.

Bruce, Thought I was supposed to brag about my Christmas present after you gave it to me!! Seriously a good looking pen. I got a blank waiting to turn but haven't decided on a kit for it yet.

when this guy learns how to take pictures you will really be blown away. This photo does not do the pen justice at all. Very nice.

Great work bruce. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.
Try placing the pen outside on your front porch when you take a pic. It works for some people. Not me though.......I guess there is a different sun on this side of the world.:biggrin:
