Modified RAW v4

[PatrickR]

This one I had planned on having more shape but I broke it in half doing something stupid and decided to leave as much wood as possible. This and the nib are all that I used from the kit. No tube. Pen weighs 18 grams.

Asian Dua Burl from Cook Woods. Alt antique ivory finials.

C&C welcome.

Nice work !!

Never heard of Asian Dua burl ... it sure looks interesting ! . Doesn't show up on the Cook website.

That's one sweet looking pen! I love the modifications.

EDIT: Wow, 18 grams is really light and probably really nice when writing a lot. You must have used the aluminum parts.

Thanks!
Cook does have it, do a search for Dua. I think its in the mixed category. I really like it. I got a turning square and cut it down.

Thanks, I found it by limiting my search to Dua ..... $75.00 per pound for cutoffs !!!

$300.00 for a peppermill blank 16" long.

Haven't found the turning squares yet but I will .

Rare = $$$. I'm sure I got it on one of the 20% off sales. Looks like they are about out of it.

.... but I broke it in half doing something stupid...

Just reading that was so therapeutic for me.

Nice recovery. That is a beautiful pen.
