Real nice job on the pen, the finish looks awesome. All of the kingwood pens I have turned always looked darker than your photos. Are your pens darker than the pictures?

Thanks guys for the kind words. Gary the true colors of the wood did not come out on this photo. The actual wood is a little darker not alot but the wood is not as orange brown but more brown purple striped, and this was a little lighter than most of the kingwood I have turned such as the attached rollerball.
