First one piece slim

[ToddMR]

So this is my first one piece slimline have done. I used a piece of Ash I have had for a while. The kit is a black fancy slimline. The nib got messed up a little a while back and figured I would use it for now to see if I could pull it off. Its a little fatter than I wanted it to be, but overall I am happy with it. I did dry sand from 150-600 grit. I then used Minwax Colonial Stain/Sealer and wiped the length of the wood twice. I followed that up with 3 coats thin CA and 3 coats med CA and MM all the way up. Finished with some turtle wax. At some point I am going to replace the nib. Thanks for looking! After posting the pictured I did align the clip more in the middle of the big open grain part.

Welcome from sunny hot, muggy,Fl! Nice pen.
My first pen is in my nightstand drawer never to see the light of day. lol
I've been turning for only about 2 months so I guess I'm still a newbie also.
From one rookie to another welcome to the club!!
