A neighbor wanted a dark pen, and I had some E. Indian Rosewood left over. I know some might scoff at the finish, and sanding, but I knew she'd like it this way (so do I).

My first experience with any kind of burl (I think its maple, but not sure). I tried to stabilize it with polyurethane, but still had many tearouts. I finally just opted for the 60 grit shaping tool to save the project. It took a while, but I'm happy with the results.

Next was a nice piece of cherry that I found at local Woodcraft. The clip has the black stripe, and I decided to make my own CB out of Purpleheart. Very pleased with the way this one turned out even though I messed up the lower barrel.

Thanks for looking.
