Had time to make 2 pens tonight. The first is a Cocobolo Jr. Statesman fountain pen. I didn't see the scratch on the cap near the clip 'till I went to take the pics. Otherwise, it looks pretty good IMHO. Only other thing I see wrong is that I'm JUST proud of the trim ring near the writing part. It blends pretty well in person, though.
The second is a full size statesman in an unknown wood...can anyone help ID it? My thought was cherry burl, but I'm not sure. I'm a touch proud at the same joint on this one as on the Jr., but otherwise I don't see anything major. This one exploded in the DP, and if you look closely under the cap you can see where I had to fill a big gap.
As always, comments, critiques, etc. are welcome.
