Curly cottonwood Kitless

[CjG78]

G'day!
A good chunk of today was spent on this pen. Stabilised and dyed curly cottonwood done by a friend over here in the Aussie land.
I worked out how to sleeve the timber, I used ebonite as it cuts beautiful threads.
Ebonite section and Jowo #6 f nib.
20 coats of medium CA to get a nice depth and polished till the cows came home.
Very happy with this one.

Another stunning pen!
is this cottonwood the same thing we have in the US? (Very light weight and soft)

Awesome pen!!! Great choices. Mal said it looks great having the cap and body the same diameter. AGREE!

Which tap and die sizes were used for cap and body?
Thanks.
