Nice Form, Fit and Finish on some great looking timber.
Well done.
Don't care for those component sets.
The nib section looks too long and makes the completed pen look out of proportion.

Difficult to see the beauty of this timber, but if you are not aware, despite it being called Santos Rosewood, the one thing it is not, is a Rosewood! So called in a vain attempt to increase the commercial return on the wood. Aka Bolivian rosewood it comes from South America.

Yes I did know Neil & on my Facebook page I do tell potential buyers that it is not a true rosewood, taking the info from " The Wood Database"
