Solid End Brazilian Rosewood

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi,

I have been playing with my solid end forms and came up with this one today. The wood is Brazilian rosewood, it was given to me by a friend who makes infill hand planes for a living. The wood turned wonderfully well and finished with minimal sanding and effort.

I also step drilled the body to accomidate the roller ball hardware, but I like it's looks as a fouintain pen.

I am open to comments and critiques please..

I like this closed end look the best so far. Very classic.

That is a great shape! Perfect scale. I too would like to see it capped. What is the length of the lower barrel? Nice work Jim!

Thanks Scott,

The lower barrel is 3 1/8" long finished...the barrel was drilled to 2 7/8" deep for the roller ball hardware application.
