Ok not really the tubes and transmission are still in there. Amboyna burl with ebony for the tip, CB and finial. The clip is ebonized maple. A couple bands of that fine powdered glitter they sell at the dollar store. If I make another the finial will be changed, I'm not totally happy with this one. Had fun making it and I guess thats the main thing.

I'd be proud to wear it.

Kits...Kits...We don't need no stinkin kits!
Thats the way to do it! Beautiful!!!
Try turning the finial with the upper barrel as a closed end.
Great job on the clip .

Very nice pen, and something for many of the rest of us to aspire to, as well.

Nice work. The style reminds me of a Euro pen. I think the glitter bands spoil the pen a bit, the Amboyna burl and ebony would have looked great by themselves. You did a really good job with the clip! Is it a solid piece of maple or is it laminated?

The clip is a solid piece. Had some thin strips with good straight grain.
