My First European Style Pen

[mhall]

Hello!

This is my first attempt at a European Style pen and only about my 10th pen to date. The first 9 were all slimline pens. This one is done in a lacewood maple. It was very nice wood to work with and I even cut a tendon. I was happy with it.

Nicely done! What did you finish it with?

It's a CA finish! Started with denatured alcohol, BLO and 2 coats of thin and 5 coats of medium CA.

Beautiful pens, Keith!

And in my original post tenon would be the right word!! I really don't want to turn, pull or tear a tendon!!
