Pen #23 Fillibelle Copper & Snakewood

[MRDucks2]

One for the wife, first non-euro style. She loves Copper, the detail, lots of wood and picked the wood from my mix of cheap blanks. We will see how long before it cracks. A PSI kit purchased from Woodturningz with a few coats of Doctors Pens Plus.

Thanks for the feedback on finishing from Hank and Mike. Went with the PP in order to not lock the wood up any tighter with CA and get it done quicker than Tung Oil. Did open up the fits for a very lite press into the tubes. Sanded all the way up at low speed and applied the finish at low speed with lite to med lite pressure. Still working on photo quality.

Nice looking pen. Congrats on the shape of the blanks- getting away from the plain ol' straight sides.

I have made (and sold) a bunch of these - people either ignore them or walk straight to them. Great choice of wood, metal and shape. Congrats!
