yeah your sierra is absolutely awesome looking with that blank...the finish is very well done too...not super duper shiny to take away from the Sierra gleem. Great job thanks for sharing.

The pens are great but I wonder if they might look better with a solid, more neutral background. Love the woods chosen for the kits.

Very nice pens.

Very nice woods and you've turned them into very nice pens.

I have to say, however, the "Amboyna", while nice, doesn't look particularly burlish. It has some nice figure, but is it possible it's something else or just a very light burl? As I understand it, if it's not burl, then it would be Narra rather than Amboyna (Amboyna is a burl from a Narra tree -- Someone feel free to straighten me out if I'm confused here).

Barry,

I have no idea!! I bought from an IAP member as Amboyna. The picture does not give it justice, it is really has very nice grain and color.

Thanks - John
