VERY nice! I turned some Desert Ironwood just last night. It came out nicely, but that Roman Harvest is large enough that it REALLY shows of the figure of the wood. Now I know what to use on the Roman Harvest kit I've got running around here somewhere.

Very nicely done.

Beautiful pen! That desert ironwood has a lot of depth to it.

I like the steel filing, it adds to the character of the pen. Excellent finish by the way.

Thankyou for the positive comments. I,ve still got to get the ca finish nailed down tho, for some reason this one was a real pain to do, seemed to take forever.
