A real nice one Tony!
All that work really paid off. **5**

At first it reminded me of a real cigar, love Brown Mallee burl it is so great to work with. In common with some others I like the simplicity of making closed ends this way with only short ends to turn round and join on if you choose. Loved the colours on either end mate. All in all a beaut pen Tony. With all entries the true length (nothing to scale from) unless you know the fillers by brand, the need of a clip would seem interesting very few pockets will hold long pens.

Thanks for the compliment John. The pen has 5 coats of CA on it, wet sanded then T-Cut polish.
I've only been turning just over 12 months and with the help you get from this forum you can take it as far as you want...
