Found this blank while organizing my wood drawer (came from EB I think). Looked even better before it was turned with more flaming and spalting. Mainly rhodium Jr gent components except for the finial. I had a spare one from a statesman so I darkened it up a little and left off the center band. I think I like the look without a center band just wish there was a way to eliminate the small joint. 15 coat CA finish, MM and HUT. C&C welcome and thanks for looking.

Stunning! And what a beautiful finish! Tough to photograph something so glossy and have it come out well. You nailed it! Russ
 
Fantastic job with both fit and finish. I like the minor mods you made, make it look very classy. I have some of this wood drying, in 2 blocks I got from Woodcraft. Some day when it is dry, I will attempt to make something as nice as yours.

Wow, that's a beautiful pen! Would the single fixed band make the cap too short on the standard tube?

Great job!

It wouldn't make it too short but I was worried about it being too plain. Sure wish someone had an idea about easing the transition between the two bands.
 
I've made several pens in this same style.

They're MY personal favorite style of pen, although my customers seem to take little notice of them.

Yours here is an absolute stunner, beautiful wood, beautiful finish. Great job.
