Arete Tamarind

[qquake]

An Arete rollerball from Woodcraft. The blank is a stabilized dyed spalted tamarind in pink, also from Woodcraft. Finished with Pens Plus. This will be auctioned off at work, with all of the proceeds donated to the Susan G. Komen organization, in the name of one of the ladies who passed away from breast cancer last year.

As with other tamarind blanks I've turned, this one had worm holes in it. I filled them with CA.

For some reason, the coupling insert in all the Arete pens I've made, both rollerball and fountain, have fit loose. I used CA on all of them.

Good job, Jim. I hope that your pen raises plenty for a great cause.
