While I was up in VA visiting my friends and fellow IAP members I got a chance to meet Brian (AkA: Nikitas) and bought myself one of his carbide tools. Slowly but surely (a couple weeks!) I turned the handle for it. I used a chunk of Ironwood burl and it came out beautiful! No finish except sanding to 600 and a couple passes with EEE wax paste. Feels wonderful. Haven't been able to use it much since but so far I think it's going to be my go to tool for pen turning.
