This is a pen I did for the Boss at work. He said he has always wanted a "fancy" Fountain pen. He picked the pen and the blank.

Beautiful! I sure do like the look of Cocobolo. If it didn't give me a nasty two-week rash, I'd turn it more often. I WOULD turn it again, but there would be a significant "discomfort" fee involved.

Michael

Luckily, other than Poison Oak/Ivy, I have not found a wood that I am allergic too. I love the way Cocobolo looks but to me it smells like a barn yard and turns everything a light brown with the dust.

Thanks for the comment. I saw yours too - Beautiful!!

Must be the week of the "Gent"
 
Beautiful pen! It didn't take me long after getting into pen making to become a lover of the fountain.

I have the same allergy to exotic woods and acrylics. I spent a month on steroids covered in a fiery blister rash shortly after starting penturning. Now I cover my entire body, even my hair, when turning suspect woods and all acrylics.
