Beautiful Pen Ernie.
Glorious Cherry Burl Blank,
I don't know if it is a Reflection off the Chrome, in Photographs 1 and 3 it appears that the Nose End of the Blank, is not square to the Hardware, and there appears to be a Gap between the Blank and the Nose Cone.
What did you use to Square and Reduce the Ends of your Blank?
I love your Choice of Hardware and Superb Oil Finish.
Regards,
Brian.
