Very nice work and beautiful wood.

I like it too!

What did you use to fill the voids?
How does redgum burl turn?

Sorry for the questions, I have been avoiding it believing it is better fit for bowls but you may just have changed my mind.[]

Nice pen, John. I like the shape, too.
I think Aussies say "gum" when they mean "sap", right? Is the gum/sap in this wood actually red?

Always fun to go back to a piece of wood you looked at years ago, gives you a stange feeling...

Looks great, you have an excellent finish.
