man that jr statesman color is very nice. What is it made out of?

Very interesting, thanks Rich! I like the new bottom finial decoration.

Now that is an attractive PEN ! The powers to be actually listened. I allways felt short changed when the body final didn't have the embossong like the big brother.
I think the addition in size on this pen will be good as well. Thanks for the update.

Rich, you mention a disassembly plug... I have never seen one.. of course I have not made a Jr Statesman so that may be the reason... can you show a pic of one... Thanks

Thanks for the info...I may have to make one now that it is a little more pleasing to look at.

Looks like sandstone Rich! Nice looking pen.

Thanks again Rich for the review! I think it was a good move for them to make the bottom like the bigger brother.

Very pretty pen, I'll have to add that kit to the "need to get" list. (as the list grows and grows, the bank account shrinks and shrinks.)

The first one is stabilized spalted maple (from BB), the second one is stabilized ironwood, wine color, from Steve White (http://www.rrpwhite.com/). Yup, phantastic color!

It's what I call it... not sure whether it was meant to be a protector for assembly or for disassembly. Works well for the latter! I mentioned it on my original review of the jr Statesman last year (posted in the Penmakers' Guild - the IAP has a an offline archive that's easily searched) There is a picture in my yahoo album - let's see whether this link works http://tinyurl.com/4g2fc
