Well, I managed to make it through this one, by the narrowest of margins. I am going to wait a while, before I try anymore X-cut blanks. It is gorgeous wood, but I had to turn out the tear-out with a parting tool. I am new to the oval skew still and just couldn't do a good job with it. It doesn't show up too much in the picture, but the nib end is slightly concave. I had a tough time picking a kit for this one, as the chrome looked good too. The chattoyance is so deep, that it seems like I'm looking through the pen.
