Amboyna Burl Continental

[preacherman]

This is my wife and little girl's birthday gift to me. I got to pick out a pen that I wanted and the blank and turn it with the sole intention of keeping it in my pocket. Most pens I make are made with intention of selling unless I screw something up.
This is a woodcraft continental kit in chrome with Amboyna Burl blank. Finished with CA.

Great looking pen Dale! The amboyna burl sets it off!

Very nice looking pen, the combination of the kit and the burl are great!

Very nice! I'd carry that too.
I recently bought that same component set but haven't drilled any blanks yet.

Dale,
The only word I can find to describe what you have posted is,
MANIFICENT.
This word applies to the Amboyna Burl, the Continental Kit,
As well as your Fit and Finish.
But even more so to the Gesture, of your Wife and Daughter, to make sure that you had a Carry Pen of your choice for your use.
Their thoughtfulness brought a lump to my throat.
Thank you for the posting of your pen, but more importantly your wifes, and daughters gesture.
You are obviously a well loved man.
Brian.

Great job! I like both the wood and kit. Your finish is excellent. Thanks for sharing. I have not used that kit before - It looks nice.

Thanks for all the kind words and "likes"

This is the first pen I have made with amboyna, also the first time making this kit. I really like the pen. I have already had to tell someone this one is not for sale.
