Very nice looking pen, being your first, it's definitely a keeper.

Wish my first (or second) pen looked that good.

I like it. Not too many of us started out with a blank that good. Gutsy move and you did it well.

Congratulation on your first pen by far much better that most of us. Good work matching up the kit with the hybrid .

Two things standout for me.
!. you chose a magnificent blank and I dare say not an easy one with such infinite detail.
2. Love that kit.
Unashameably the best of firsts I have ever seen. Look forward to more from you.

Thanks everyone for all the positive comments! I wanted to make my first blank with some of the buckeye i brought back from washington state, and since i didnt have one of those hdpe molds to make hybrids, i litterally just made a square with painters tape around the wood and filled the rest of the space with alumilite with blue and gun metal powder from hobby lobby. Turned out great... hopefully i can get into stabilizing soon.. and i owe thanks to one of the guys in the local clubs for mentoring me as i start!
