Roman Harvest / Cambridge in Holy. A few coats of medium ca and polish. Has a few blemishs on the upper barrel that I didnt notice until it was assembled though I think I'll just let it be and chalk it up to a learning experience.

Nice looking pen. I thought I saw the blemishes you mentioned then realized it was my computer screen. Nice work and great fit and finish!

Great job! I haven't tried turning holly yet. How does it turn? Any special issues?
This was my first go at it aswell. I really enjoyed turning the wood, it's soft yet a solid piece of wood. I used a somewhat sharp round carbide to get the edges off then switched to a fairly new squared carbide to finish..it turned so easy it was like shaving ice chips off, very fine and lite shavings. It definitely required a lite touch, being too heavy handed would easily dig into the wood before you know it.

Where did you get the holly? It look blemish-free (natural blemishes, eg knot holes, etc).
