The wood is spalted macadamia nut. #6 Bock. Its a large pen about 5 3/4 inch long. The cap at the largest OD is about 15.5mm and the barrel at largest point about 14.5mm. Thanks for looking.

WOWZA!!!! Very nice Mike! If you don't mind sharing, how did you achieve the background? Is that glass on a cloth?

Absolutely beautiful. The finials appear to have a design on them. What did you do there?

Thanks for all the comments.

James,
I read several forums and can't remember where I got the idea but the pen sitting on a mirror reflcting a printed piece of paper in the background.

John,
Both finials have mosaic pins inserted.

Mike, did you make those pins, or are they store-bought ?

They really add another dimension to the pen. Well done again.

You can get the pins at knife maker supply online. I am pretty sure I got mine from Jantz supply. Thanks for the comments.
