Still stunned by it Jim, that dyed blank is simply awesome. If you were intending to make any more of those blanks to sell I'd definitely be interested in a couple.

Importantly the shape the way it tapers down meets and greets the centre,holds its line is real and special ,I like design in a pen Jim.That timber is so light and almost unstable in many blanks to create using dyeing, stabilising becomes a pleasant way to bring out the best in the timber. This you did so well. Love the pen.
