I have not spent much time turning since the begining of the year. It's just been too cold here. (Almost four weeks straight never over freezing and FAR below that each night)
This was done as a special request for a customer at an art gallery I consign in. The gallery owner says he's been drooling over my pens for months and finally decided to go for it.
He wanted black, black, black. So naturally I started with the lightest, lightest BEB I could find. [:eek:)] Several coats of black sprit dye and here we go. No closed end, no recessed clip. I think this is the first b2b pen w/all the kit parts installed I've made in quite some time.
As always, comments and critques welcome.

Thanks all for looking and the comments.
I must say, I'm not much of a bead and cove guy. When I say I have not done a b2b pen in a while I mean most of what I've been doing has been experimenting with closed end, double closed end, recessed clips, etc. Just don't use bushings on the pin chucks.

Sometimes ( like this ) simplicity does look smarter, doesn't it?
I can't tell from the pic, but can you still see any wood grain?
