Imperial with IBO and Cross

[Jim Smith]

I'm still very new at this but I thought I share my latest pen with you. This imperial is made using one of Iwalden's terrific Cross blanks. He made the blank out of Irish Bog Oak and used Holly for the cross. The pen is a surprize gift for our Pastor who is very Irish. I used seven coats of wipe on Poly with a light polish with Brasso and a couple of coats of Ren Wax to keep off fingerprints. Unfortunately, my photography still needs a lot of work so you can't really see the dark brown and black grain of the IBO. As always, comments welcome and thanks again Iwalden for a beautiful blank to work with.

Jim that's a very nice looking pen. You've done a great job on the finish.

That is the first Imperial kit that I have liked. You did well with that one. Your pastor will be very pleased.

That is really nice! All of the materials work with each other to make a very elegant old school look.
