Congratulations Lou! Although it is no surprise to me. Keep up the fantastic and artistic work.
Thanks to all. The pen has already been seen here. The "distinguishing" characteristic for the pen is its finish. http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15299

Darick,
It's the Pen Maker's Guild. Though characterized differently by different people, it's a group for which entry is obtained by submitting a pen or set of pens. The submitted pen(s) are reviewed by several "elders" who critique it/them on a variety of criteria. Obtaining entry is not trivial by any means - the pen(s) must basically be be exceptional all around. There aren't TOO many members, though their ranks are growing. It's a huge recognition of the caliber of pens Lou, and the other members, make. We're lucky enough to have several PMG members who also regularly participate here, and I know I've learned a lot from them all, and especially Lou (we meet in person fairly often).
Check out http://www.penmakersguild.com/ for more info.

So being very new to this site I am doing my best to read lots.
From my basic understanding and looking at the PMG site it is a huge credit to you Lou and I must say congrats.
I have seen urushi a couple of different times and have watched a show or two about it on PBS, it is incedible.
Here is a link if anyone is still reading the older posts and is interested in understanding more on the process, http://www.stutler.cc/pens/wajima/urushi.html
Again, Congrats
