Claro Walnut

[rd_ab_penman]

Fitted with a Chrome Olympia Twist Ballpoint. Finished using Minwax Poly and polished with Brasso. The photo doesn't do the timber justice. Looks much better in person. The Minwax Gloss finish gives the grain and color of the Claro Walnut great depth.

As always comments and or suggestions welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Nice Olympia!

Wow! Nice job on a pen rarely seen here. One of my favorite looking kits, and you've done a nice job with the walnut and chrome. Well done.

Can you tell me if that finish is very durable and can you tell me your process of applying it. im curious to try it. thanks

Proving once again that my opinion that claro walnut is too dark for pens is full of hooey. Nice pen no matter how you look at it.
