Those are especially nice looking pens. Is the finish just clear over raw wood or is stain to hilught details first? Either way they look great. Congrats!

Welcome! Realy nice looking pen set. You have a good eye for wood and seem to know what to do with it. I predict good things to come. I have a couple of pen kits just waiting for some nice blanks.
