This Emperor is made with a cocobolo blank I got from Wayne S. Why did I use the Black Titanium? It was the only kind of kit I had. :D

I hate Cocobolo....Naw....I really do love it. That black titanium really looks good with it and you did it justice with your turning. Excellent job!!![:)]

Very nice work and beautiful wood, William. I just tonight cut and drilled the cocobolo I got from Wayne and it looks as good as yours.[:p] Hope my pen turns out as nicely done as yours, except it isn't an Emperor, just a lowly Baron or maybe a Jr. Statesman.

Looks great, this sure is a power pen! I love the blank t. I would have to say that with so much red tone in the cocobolo, I would like to see it in gold. All we can do is use what we have and in your case it turned out very nice. [:)]

Thanks all for the nice comments. I mis-spoke slightly in that yes I have other kits, it was the Emperor kit that I only had Black Ti in. My last Emperor kit is on the lathe, but I need to sell a couple before I buy more Emperor kits.

Boy, I know that feeling!!

As always, looks great. Did you use a finish, or is it just waxed-looks very natural and with cocobolo, I have yet to find a finish I am thrilled with.
