The pen looks good and i hope the clicker stands up to the usage that is facing it, the wood goes really well with the pen and its components ... :thumbs:

It feels like a good clicker not like some of the cheaper kits nice and firm. The palm woods a bit of a bugger to turn splinters quite a bit

Well done you that is a nice bit of turning Palm woods can be a pain to turn there are several types on the market including red palm, black palm and Toby palm to mention a few I have had some that just fell to bits on me and others that turned with no problems some that needed stabilizing

Nice piece of wood. I hate when they fall apart as you turn them! Are my eyes decieving me or did you go just a tad thin at the nib end? If so, I highly recommend a pair of digital calipers from Wilko (£9.99) or Lidl when in stock (£8.99). Makes you less dependent on the bushings.
