Hey guys first time posting. I did this pen a Cigar from Woodcraft using Amboyna Burl. What you think? it is my 5th pen. Comments? good or bad welcome.

Nice material choice, and good job on keeping the grain matching, of course this seems a bit of a waisted effort on a twist pen. but I also do it all the time. I would like to know your thoughts on your finish. there is nothing wrong with it, I am just wondering if it is what you wanted.
the photo could be hiding a lot of details though. so i think you should send the pen directly to me for a closer inspection.

Pen looks good from here too.[:p][:)]
I'm just wondering if the nib end is slightly under turned?

Na, I think it is just how the pic came out. In person the pen really does look good i think.

I used a friction lacquer. I would have preferred a bit more shine which i do get now since i changed my finish. I started using the Hut bar. I am more then satisfied with its performance. On my 6th pen. A Perm Cigar (Black) in orange wood.
