I made this pen this morning and this is, hands down, my finest pen to date. My finish on this is the most flawless finish I've been able to achieve yet. It's like glass and has some nice depth to it. I also really like this kit - this is my first Triton I've done. I'm impressed with it - which is good because I've got 6 more Tritons (1 more FP and 5 RB) to do in the next week or so - 1 for me and 5 for orders. Those 5 orders are the only reason I was able to afford a couple extra Trition kits!
This pen is a "Thank You" gift for a friend who loves fountain pens and writes with them pretty much exclusively. This will be his first fountain pen that wasn't bought off the shelf somewhere. I'll be giving it to him on Sunday night. My friend is a pastor (and a college and seminary classmate of mine - and it so happens that we both currently serve congregations within 25 miles of each other), so I chose Thuya as it is a Biblical wood.
