I made this pen originally with a different blank. It cracked and so I turned the material off and made a new pen out of it. I like the results, the color goes well with the kit. The kit is called a Imperial and was on clearance from a big retailer when I got it. The finish is CA glue and sanded to 12k. Comments welcome, good or bad. Thanks Russell
I think it looks great Russell.
Beautiful job, I love fountain pens. Is that one for you, or for sale? Nice job on the dying, it works well.

That's a great looking pen... First time I've seen brown dyed buckeye burl... I like it a lot.
I received a pen from a friend about 6 years ago that was made from this kit. He used Amboyna Burl....light tan throughout. I must say, that yours looks much better with the contrast given with the dyed buckeye. And Brown!!! That's cool!
Glad you were able to save it Russell...that's one spendy kit...and pretty too!
Dan I can not take responsibility for the dye job. It was a experiment by a friend, and I think it will be a permanent addition to his line. I am thinking it will stay in my personal collection. Those kits are getting very hard to find, I think I have 1 left. Thanks for the comments, it helps getting feedback on what others think.
Beautiful pen.
That is a beauty. I like the wood color.
