My "wife" made me do it!

[DKF]

About a year ago I made a Baron out of Two-Tone Amboyna, and ever since then my wife has been bugging me for a pen for her....as much as I was trying to save the stash, she got her pen...(funny how those things go)...Euro/Rhodium/CA/WD/TSW. Comments and critiques welcome.

My wife got the first pen I made in Amboyna. An El Grande. She loves it and shows it to everyone. She's probably sold about $600 in pens for me that way. Really nice pen but I don't know how you held out for a year. Mine wants something everything else gets dropped, after all she has to approve the next tool purchase.

Thanks all.......Don't know how I was able to hold her off for so long....BTW, this burl is from Nolan...

That is really pretty. Wow. [:0]

Whoa, a year. That's a mean wait . But the pen is worth it, it looks gorgeous. How did you finish it?
