Nice work Charlie. Interesting grain for Olive wood. I like the proportions of the cap to the body.
@Dieseldoc . . . Nice work, Charlie !!!
I really like how you have minimized the length of the threads.
What threads did you use for cap-to-body ? .

@Dieseldoc . . . Thank you, Charlie !! . 
Copying is the highest form of a compliment ... right ?
I think I just might do that !! . Or, I might make it a roller ball .
But I'll try to put a clip on mine ( to satisfy the critics !! ) so it won't be an identical copy.
Or I might just do a roll-stop ..... consisting of .... you guessed it .... the "stone" out of an olive !!!
Don't hold your breath, though ..... I don't work fast !!

Make sure you stabilize the stone from the olive first.

Very nice. That is a beautiful piece of wood. What finish, if any, did you use?

Tung oil. 6 coats, cure between coats 48 hours. Buffed out with Martin polish.

Tung oil?? I must admit I love it but have gone over to danish for bowls due t9 the faster curing time. I found, although probably due to temperatures over here, I needed 3 to 4 days to properly harden off. Does give a lovely finish though.
