Curly Spalted Maple Jr. Gent

[JimGo]

Got this blank from a fellow member. Absolutely stunning - wide range of colors, and some great spalting lines. I managed to turn the nib-end a little too small, which is frustrating, but it's still a nice looking pen. CA/BLO finish. Added a layer of TSW after the pic, and it really pops now.

Comments/critiques/etc. welcome.

Very pretty wood, Jim. [^] Are both barrels from the same blank?

Sam, Yup, same blank. Had the top and bottom barrels been closer to the same diameter, you'd see that the spalt lines actually match up.
Jeff, that's curly spalted Maple.

Thanks for the kind comments guys!
