Nice job on the pen. Beautiful piece of wood. Just one criticism I have is the table you have the pen set on. For us people with color vision problems the wood on wood makes it very hard to distinguish between wood colors. In my eyes this pen blends in with the table which I'm sure really lessens the pens beauty. I would suggest using a different background for future pictures.

I appreciate that and noted. Thanks for the tip !

That's a piece of hawaiian koa that I dislike turning trying to find use of.

Nice Pen Russ,
Attractive Blank, Well Turned, Fitted and Finished.
I don't know how difficult it was for you to get an acceptable coverage,
Do you feel that 15 coats was too many ?
I would never consider putting on 15 coats.
The other parts of the Question are, Did it increase the diameter?,
and did you have to sand it down to obtain the correct diameter?
Regards,
Brian.

How big a piece of Koa is it Russ? I turn Koa as my main wood source and if you're interested in getting rid of it let me know. I would buy it from you if the price is right.
