I made 2 pens, so I could choose one to enter in the Pretty Wood Pen Comp.
This is the pen I didn't enter.
It is a Lazerlinez Eagle, I used Dogwood to make it, CA finish.
Here Is the pen I did enter, the Western She-Oak Jr Statesman.
The CA finish on both these pens is a blemish free full gloss, this doesn't show in the photos. The diffused light in my lightbox doesn't show it as it actually is. Not sure if this may have affected how people viewed my pen.
Thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated.
I did have a hard time choosing, in the end I went with my Wifes pick, though if I was to rely on my own judgement I probably would have went with the Dogwood Eagle.
