Nicely turned, but Neil is dead right about the dust. Some can be really bad for you so extraction or a least a mask is advised.

Nicely made pen.:thumbs:
Padauk must be the dirtiest timber I've turned, it's like red brick dust & goes everywhere. PPE is a must. The trouble with Padauk is it soon looses its vibrant colour & goes dark brown.

Nice pen you have made there another health warning with Padauk is the dust is a terrible skin irritant I have to shower immediately after turning the stuff so I wont use it any more then I dont have to shower LOL
