Beautiful Pen!
Great Work!
My next acquisition will be a vacuum pump and chamber.

Lovely !! . Perfect blank-kit match, in my opinion !!
That's a new PSI kit, I believe, and one that I will have to try ... it is very attractive. Some reservations about the nib ridge just where you hold the pen ..... what do you think ?

I agree, where the nib meets the wood it is a little curved like the center of a cigar pen. It's a new design , I'm not sure if I like it. i will make a couple more and see how they look. I'm also concerned about the durability of the clip.

Beautiful Pen Dave,
Magnificent Spaltered Oak Blank,
I appreciate your concern about the Clip, it looks like it is anchored in a Vulnerable location where it could be subject to excessive bending forces, but the clip is reasonably Rugged, and will probably be fine. Time will Tell.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Beautiful wood Dave. Do you know what type of Oak it is.
I had a red oak struck by lightning and I cut a couple of small burls off of it I am waiting for them to dry but I can see spalting in the cuts.
I haven't turned any oak yet but it is my favorite BBQ wood.

Dale , I'm not sure what type of oak, it came from Gainesville Florida, it was given to me by a co-worker . Months of tropical weather almost destroyed it. It was close to rotten in places.
