I was finally able to take pics with my iPhone that showed dark-grained wood.
Photo1 is a full length shot of a custom 1 piece BHW StreamLine Round Top 7mm in Black Titanium. In addition to being a 1 piece, the barrel is oversized, being 0.485 " in diameter at the center of the wood barrel. It has a flared writing tip at the nib. The wood is Mecassar Ebony. Finish is 2 coats Myland's Sanding Sealer, buffed between coats wit Mirlon Tan, followed by 3 coats Mylands Friction Polish, buffed between coats, and after the final coat with Mirlon Tan. Photos 2 thru 5 are views of different portions of the pen showing off the reddish grain common to this species of wood.
Thanks for your help on finishing techniques; thanks for looking. Your comments are always appreciated.
