First attempt at turning an olive wood pen

[steveisfound]

Hi all

This is my first attempt at turning olive wood. I used a Sierra kit and finished using Melamine (first time using melamine too..)

Thanks to Phil for the advice re Melamine!

Well done a lovely pen using my favorite wood I find its the best selling pen I make, try a darker olive wood and compare them.

Very nicely done pen Steve, would prob look better with the ink tip showing, just my opinion though! ..

Very nice. I agree with Ted, pictures tend to look better with the ink tip showing.

Very nice Steve, just getting to grips with melamine myself and it looks fine on this one.
