Violet Statesman Pen

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi,

I turned this blank on the weekend and waited for a Statesman kit to arrive from CSUSA. I just assembled it now. The BEB Violet has a wonderful play of colour with dyed and undyed wood, I LOVE this look. The kit really looks great on this blank...just had to share it with you, All comments and critques are welcomed!

Jim, obviously the final result was worth waiting for. That is a truly beautiful pen.

You just keep knocking them out of the park, Jim!

 

[darbytee]

Okay Jim, that's enough. No more beautiful pens from you. Now I have to make a violet pen for my wife.

Jim, that is a beautiful pen! My violet-dyed BEB doesn't look anywhere near that good. Where did you get the blank, if I may ask?
