I really like the grain of that. The clip seems over sized for the pen, but might just be the angle of the photo. I personally have not worked with Palm yet but am thinking about it.

Great job Dennis , that CB contrasts nicely with the black palm . It looks so much better then a stock kit . Nice transitions too , it looks like a part of the pen not something just thrown on as an after thought .

Looks like it was worth the trouble. Nice pen.

Yep, good combination for sure. Gotta watch out when turning to leave enough material for sanding without going below the bushings. Remember Sanding is removing material, just like using a skew, usually just in thinner layers. the finer the grit, the thinner the layer of material removed, but it's still going to get smaller every time 
Took me a while to train myself to remember that too. Another thing, it's much easier to keep a blank straight, or a curve true with a turning tool than it is with sandpaper. So the less you have to sand, the better the end result usually is.

Good job. Like the CB. I wonder of the buyer will realize what you put into the pen (antler).

Buyer??? hehe - I've never sold a pen. This is only my 7th or 8th pen. Maybe a dozen if you count pencil kits.
This will be a gift for my father in law. I used the money he gave me for my birthday to buy the pen turning starter kit, and his birthday is in a couple weeks.
So, yes, he will know it is anlter because I will tell him
. Its from a deer I shot in 2003 (lol my kill tag was still on the antler)
