Jerry,
Your fit is great! When you post pics, it is better for them to be too light than too dark. Everyone's monitor is different, but we can always turn down the brightness.
In other words, I can tell its some kinda red??? But it looks like a pretty pen.
Don't mean to offend, just a word for the future.

Good job! I have some material similar to that, and am now really curious how it will turn out.
If I can make a suggestion, next time, try cropping the picture so that only the pen or pen and cap are presented. This will allow it to be a little bigger in the frame, and thus easier for us to see. There are also some lighting issues, but a cropped pic will really help.
Here's an example of the cropped pic, which I also lightened a touch:

As you can see, the picture itself could then have been bigger without changing the overall size of the thread (i.e., without Anthony or Eagle having to scroll [
]).

very nice pen. Boy, that sure looks like a "Baron"...right down to the squared finger-hold. Are the Navigator and the Baron one-and-the-same?

Yes the navigator and Baron are the same but woodcraft costs more. Nice pen by the way.

Nice!
JimGo, this is very very similar to the rod that we have, maybe this is a touch darker.
I think it makes a great pen.
This one is very nice, good work!

Jerry,
I like the red color. How long have you been turning pens? I am wondering about your "handle". Your bio doesn't say anything about you being a fisherman, so I guess the "tog" part isn't short for tautog (that's a pretty well liked fish for fishermen around these parts - Delaware New Jersey and Maryland).

Rob, I've been doing pens for 3 weeks now. Getting a little better but still blow out a blank to often. The retiredtog is for Turn On Guy. Worked for the city utilities for 30 yrs.
