Hi,
Another pen I was working on and finally took some time to make a picture of it. The pen kit is an El Grande fountain pen purchased at Lee Valley. The blank is a bocote. I turned it as a solid end pen, using a pen mandrel from William Woodwrite.
I like the string wood grain in this blank, I added a 10 mm malachite cabochon for a finished detail
The finish is sanding to 400 then Mylands friction polish then microcrystalline wax for a final polish.
All critiques are welcomed
