I think that this is the first pen I have shown here but I'm pleased with it so here goes.
Statesman with one of Eugene's Amalgam Mutt blanks. I was worried when I started to turn this that by the time I got down to the diameter that I wanted there would be no blue left but I think it's nice and subtle. I thought at one point that I'd had a disaster at one point when a chip came off the bottom barrel. After a little bit of deliberation I decided to shorten the barrel slightly (about 4mm) hoping that the tolerances would allow it and yippee they did. I would have hated to bin the blank.
Comments good and bad are welcome.
Cheers
