Had fun making it too!
Wasn't the 'originally planned' pen, but I thinking it turned(pun intended) out okie-dokie!
Guess I should fill in all the details....
Cap material: Afghan Pine Cone, turned between centers with a LOT of thinCA soaked into it during the turning....BTW, all skew, no gouge! Finish is 3 coats of thinCA and 8 or 9 coats of meduimCA, wet sanded through 12K micromesh, and then polished with PlastixPolish.
Body material: Eastern Red Cedar crotch with some sapwood, turned on a RickHerrell pin chuck. Finish is 3 coats of thinCA and 7 or 8 coats of thick after being wiped down with BLO(pops the grain, and hopefully keeps the finish from 'fogging'), wet sanded through 12K micromesh, and then polished with PlastixPolish.
Here's a few I snapped off after it was made:
Glad you liked the extras! Couldn't see sending a box all that way without filling her up(we are allowed 4lbs(about 2Kg's) in that size box)....

Sent my package off yesterday to John Evans.
I went in to the post office and asked how much to Australia? They said $16.00, I thought great, and asked how long to get there, and they said 6-8 weeks Apparently for that price the mail man swims it over.
$37.00 later and it will show up in 10-16 days
Hope you like it John

Hey All,
Just received a pen and some Blanks from Salty, he read the list wrong, and thought that we had a Swap, (I thought that maytbe he needs Glasses) The Pen is pretty much a kitless Fountain Pen with aclosed end, with a very interesting Blank, I am hoping that I can get one of these, I have a client that would grab that quicker than SWMBO.
There were also some very interesting blanks in the Box to stop the Pen banging about, in the post.
Thanks Salty, yours is in the post tomorow.

Nice collection of blanks, and the pen is unusual but very well done. Congrats on your swap.

I think I'm done
This would have been my 6th pen swap (several different forums) and this has been the 3rd one where I either haven't heard back from my partner or just have not received a swap. So being said, I think I will sit out from now on.
