Thanks to everyone who voted for my pen and helped me get the third place position. It was a tough vote as all of the pens were very nice and were worthy of placing. A special thanks to Mr. Redburn for all of the work he invested to make the competition possible.

This was my first time turning a fountain pen. I was please with the overall way it turned out.

Thank you for running this contest Mike! Thanks to all who voted for my pen. I have a fair amount of coco but have been saving this piece as it looks unique.

 

[Fred Bruche]

Thanks y'all for the votes and the love. And thank you Michael for putting the contest together.
I've had the wood since last year but I have to use it parsimoniously because of rosewood allergies (not too bad but I am taking extra precautions so turning becomes a bit cumbersome), but it was worth the time and "risk" for the contest. Also, congrats to Patrick and John, those were some remarkable pens!
