All of your comments on the pen or wood are welome.
Thanks

Very nice pen. I'm still mixed on the ultra cigar.

Thanks guys. I'm with you Steve. Still not sure what I think about the style of this pen either.The mix of Chrome nib and Gold clip seams a little odd to me. Time will tell.

That is a beautiful combination of wood and the kit. Great job. I am also not totally sold on the the "Ultra" but when someone turns a beautiful pice like this it shows us anything is possible.

Very attractive combination -- I don't have any doubts about the ultra cigar used for your pen!

Nice-looking pen, although I don't think I'll be ivesting in any of the Ultra kits. Not to take away from your pen, which is done well. []

Me too. The pen looks great but I'm undecided on the kit. I guess it has it's place. I really like the wood you used.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Bill, I bought the Cottonwood Flame Burl online at http://ipopperwoods.com/
They have some of the most beautiful domestic spalted and highly figured wood I have ever seen. I think they are closed for the winter or something. Not sure.

I really like the pen and wood! Only thing I might have changed was switching the grain direction to match the whoopdedoos on the clip.

I never thought of trying to match the whoopdedoos with the grain. You might be right. It's never to late to turn things around.[]
