Very cool. I love the figure in the walnut. And the Diamond Knurl from Exotic Blanks has become one of my very favorite kits. - Dave
Great wood and good work. Pleased to see Friction Polish used.

Beautiful finished pen. TW is a species I have never used, but greatly admire. Thanks for sharing.
Although I'm a novice at this point, I'm finding that for the woods (thus far), I'm preferring friction polish. With the exception being some burls I've tried recently. They weren't stabilized and seemed quite punky in some places. For those, I went with CA to try and keep them together as much as possible.

Looking good. Turkish Walnut can be quite beautiful. Check out Claro Walnut is another beautiful species to try out. It's fairly easy to get some with great figuring.
I think it is most commonly known for gunstocks, and the grain shows off well on a larger surface. It reminds me a bit of a darker version of Olive wood.
That's exactly what I thought of when I saw this.
