That's a super cut on the cocobolo, stunning pen. I remember it was all sunshine and roses up north, I can't remember it raining once.

A fantastic pen there Jim, you certainly have got the knack of making a scorcher of a pen.

That's a beautiful pen Jim, as a rather novice pen turner can I ask how how the centre band is produced without using the one from the pen kit? I don't wish to encroach on any trade secrets or anything I'm just curious.
