Rosewood Burl, S/Steel and Window

[skiprat]

At least I 'think' it's Rosewood I got it from Charlie and have been dying to use it. One of my better CA finishes, I think:biggrin: Unfortunately I messed up the cap, one end is under and the other end is overturned:redface: Oh well....
The clip is from a kit, but the rest of the hardware is stainless steel.

Hope you like:biggrin:

Skippy with the cap being under and over turned you don't want it hanging around with your other works of art so being a good friend I'll help you out by taking it off your hands.........no need to thank me

Skippy ? under turned ?? over turned ??? how dare you show sub-standard work ..... send it to me so I can hide it for you , I promise not to show it to anyone else to save you the embarrassment :biggrin::tongue::biggrin:
I do have a question though , are you a mind reader or is my cat sending you my plans . I'm working on an Amboyna burl Schmidt piston filler . I hope mine comes out as good as yours .... like that will ever happen !!!

Great pen Steven .

Man, I really like that. Every time I finish up a pen, I'm impressed with myself. Then I get on here and see what others have done! Amazing. Looks really nice, good job.

Looks good

When I first looked at the pen before reading the your post I thought the under turn was intentional. It works with the mass of cap. I like it.

 

[hewunch]

I like it. I love the window. But the cap looks a bit too big in relation to the main body IMO
