My First Capped Pens, BOW and Bocote Jr.Gents

[philb]

Hi,

Haven't posted any pics for a while but have moved on to trying my hand at some capped pens!
They may take that bit longer, are harder to align the grain, and really need to be finished mandrel-less but they do feel classy compare to cheaper kits!

Both kits are Ti-Gold, the BOW roller is the very first capped pen and is a keeper for me! The Bocote is a gift for my Uncle, who has a cigar in Mexican Kingwood, so the Mexican theme continues!

Both are finished with a CA, no BLO!

Any comments welcomed!
