Pau Santo Snake Apollo Fountain

[crokett]

This is an Apollo Kit wrapped in Pau Santo Snake with a brass addition on the cap. This was a rescue. My original plan was to use a swarf blank that I cast but I had a large chip out. I turned the old blank off the inserts and used the Pau instead. I actually like this better. I added the brass because I liked the look. It's finished with many coats of CA. It's my first Apollo kit.

Beautiful pen, beautiful wood. Has the wood darkened significantly since this pen was crafted?
