I'm glad you have sent it to you Woody, you've done it proud. The pen I made out of the same burr was sold this morning so I have to make another bling one now. I might just have a go with a Roman Harvest. :thumbs:

Indeed it is beautiful wood Woody, the wood really does make these pens look special and i like that the powder is used sparingly not over powering the wood .. Nice pens my friend .. :thumbs:

Super pens Woody I think the iron powder really compliments the burr oak and the kits, makes them that bit more special.
