I have had this wood and kit for some time with the plans of one day making "My Pen". I finally think my finishing skills are good enough to do this wood and kit some justice. The scratch near the end cap was just a piece of lint. :rolleyes:

Well done Jason. I'll bet that piece of lint gave you a start when you first saw it on the screen. One of those "What da?":eek: moments. Been there.

Yes, it gave me quite a shock. My heart sank, I thought the finish had started to crack (I rode my bicycle home from the woodshop on base and it was a little cold). It is (sometimes) funny what details show up in a picture.

Rob,

Thanks! I know a lot of people are thinking "too much bling" for the blank, but I like a heavy pen and thought the kit would fit nicely. I still can not bring myself to put a Ferrari engine in a Pinto. I know artme will disagree....so my next pen will be dedicated to him, and I will call it...... "artme's challenge"! :biggrin: Seriously though Arthur, I appreciate all comments. I find it extremely interesting how so many people have such different views. It definitely keeps things interesting, and brings me new perspectives!

Thanks Ken, Harold(splinter 99) really helped me out learning the CA finish techniques. As I have said several times, the people on this site are amazing. I have learned more from this site in the last two months than I learned in the last year. :biggrin:
 
Harold, I could not have done it without you! Doug, I love the chittum burl. The more I look at it, the more I like it. The wood's chatoyance and grain patterns are amazing. I look forward to seeing yours.
 
Wow! That's a beautiful pen! Chittum burl you say? Looks like it's infused with gold. It's a work to cherish.

All the best, Joe
