As always comments and or suggestions appreciated.

WOW! Eastern Red is one of my favorite woods for color and grain pattern. I just wish is was a little harder. That is one beautiful pen! I know that stuff's not so easy to work with.

Great work, great finish, and the pictures are nothing to sneeze at either!

That is gorgeous. I am really a big fan of the sedona kit.

The finish is insane!!! Beautiful wood, kit and finish []

Nice choice of kits to go with that. I think the round ends really help the grain flow. Not too busy either. Very nicely done.

I did not realize cedar had so much grain pattern! The sedona looks great, and your finish is very nice.

Now I'm all excited, I have a couple of cedar bowl blanks waiting to be turned

Amazing finish, I have done a couple things in Eastern Red Cedar and love all of them except the bowl that shattered on me. I will do another bowl with this though and next time I will try a waste block instead of a mortice.

Wow thats fantastic. I think that shine burned out 3 pixels on my monitor. Thanks for detailing the finish for us finishing challenged.
