Very nicely done! Maybe you could help with my millions of ruined blanks for my PITH pen I have not had such great results. Beautiful job!

Thanks all, it was fun and I plan on doing more.

Looks good from Florida. Great pen. I have thought about trying some different things similar. Thanks for the encouragement .

I like that pen. The knot that you put in it goes perfectly with the rest of the pen. Really nice job, it gives me hope that I could give this a try!

Great looking pen. Did you use brass in the knot? And did you put CA finish on it?
My experience with brass is that it will tarnish if not properly protected.
Good job!!!

Good job!!!

I used copper for the knot and about 8 coats of CA. It did turn rather easy, I did use a carbide cutter. The wood is rosewood.
