Great pen! There is something about the shape of the lower barrel that has me intrigued! Off to the lathe.

I'm a big fan of walnut and you picked a beautiful piece. It goes well with the satin finish.

Normally, I don't do walnut for pens because of open grain problems. But you got a great finish and if much of the figure isn't showing, that must be some incredible knock-out in person. It looks terrific in the photo. I would have gone with gold plating though.

Thanks riffleman..i cant say it was an easy finish to do.. took 3 tries per barrel
the ca just didnt want to stick to it in some places..the blank had a large crack that I filled with ca about 15 times..it would fill up, then the crack would reappear..there was a pretty good size void in it...thats the black ring by the clip
