This Jnr Gent dressed in Salmon Gum Burr was originally going to be a closed end pen, but I did the closed end a fraction to short.
So I trimmed the closed end down to level with the end of the tube to make a standard Jnr Gent.
The blanks were sanded to 400 grit, sealed and sanded twice and then sprayed with 3 coats of Acrylic Lacquer, then wet sanded with 6,00, 8,000 & 12,000g Micro-Mesh

Chas the lines on your pen are definite and superb well seen the pics explicit except the detail of the burl I am certain its a winner in the hand mate.
