I started getting in to turning pens when I saw a kitless jade and tortoise pen someone had created. So, after a couple of years of accumulating tools and practicing, I decided to give it a try. Right off the bat I couldn't find alt tortoise, so I went with some alt jade and alt briar from Exotic Blanks. I put a #6 ruthenium plated JoWo nib in it, and a black Ti triton clip from Exotic Blanks. The section is black acrylic for now, as it is my first truly successful/useable section. I may upgrade it to briar later. Sorry for the poor photography, I'm working on it
