This is Grape Vine Root, variety Pinot Noir home grown in the UK. I picked up a few roots on a vinyard crawl last year and when the Rose Root pen was posted it jogged my memory so here is mine on a Gold Titanium Baron 11 Rollerball from Timberbits. The photos really don't do it justice.

I am going to make the finial out of the same, I had planned to and completely forgot, I have to start writing things down.

Hell's teeth, that's fantastic !

What finish is on that Peter ?

Thanks Phill, it's 20-22 coats of CA, wet micro-meshed and polished with Silvo.

If the photograph doesn't do it justice then I would love see it. It is an absolute beauty and thanks for showing Peter !!!!:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

I really think better photos would show the real beauty, but it would mean getting out my serious kit and I really don't want to do that, but maybe next time I have to get it out, I will re-photograph it.

No. Your probably using microsoft windoze.
They like to hide everything from you only for them to see init?
If youre a proficient user you can go into your system settings and deselect hide system files then you can see some more but still not all of your os.
You can also do a lot of damage by getting things wrong.
