Yet another knot

[GaryMGg]

I love repeatable accuracy.
I had to do some production work as all my Gator cigars sold yet still had time
for one of my own design.

This is a chrome Cigar dressed in Goncalo Alves with Osage Orange segments and a
bloodwood/osage orange 4-ring knot. The finish is CA.

Comments and criticisms welcome.

Is it missing an OO ring at the nib end?

good looking pen. Havent had any luck with the knots. Maybe after a drill press(Ido em in my vise by eye) i can get some done that will stay on center.

That's a real good question and one I'm still undecided about. When making the pen, I thought it doesn't need it. When putting it together and holding it, I think it doesn't need it.
When I see it in the photo, I think it needs it.
When I hold the pen, I'm still not convinced it needs it.
I'll think on it.
If I decide it needs the lower OO ring, I'll disassemble the pen, part it, and add a ring.

Good answer, I agree totally! Would look great either way.

Thanks
