    Way to thin

    It's hard to tell by the photo, but the wall on this pen at the bushing end is 1/32" thick. For a metal sandwich and spalted wood...that wasn't the best idea I've ever had...but it held up! Gold and black Ti Elegant Beauty from Berea. Wood is two different spalted somethings with a copper inlay and 10 coats of thin CA and polished with Hutts. I really wanted a Jr Gent out of it, but after all was said and done...wasn't going to happen. Swap pen for an IAP event, hope they like it and thanks for looking!

    Thanks Jeff! I can't tell you the swap because you might be my partner! Sorry I didn't make a HF...might have been worth something.

    Jim, that's a real beauty my friend. I still have to get you that box of blanks I have. It just keeps slipping my mind. I'll get on it this week, you'll love the woods I have for you.
