Lovely looking pen Paul. I brought 10 of these from Axminster and have only done 1 of them up to yet and I like you, dressed it in Thuya Burr. I initially thought that it looked two big but after a while it started to grow on me. The first person that saw it brought it no quibble.

The shape really suits the kit and the blank is gorgeous. I'm guessing 10 coats of CA !
Regards Terry

It was between 8 and 10 Terry, I don't really count any more, I coat it until I think that its had enough.
