First Jr Statesman
This is my first attempt at the Jr Statesman 22k kit. The blank is Tiger Myrtle, thanks DJ it was from the blank swap, I hope it did it justice.
The finish is EEE glow
Comments please

Great timber but then I would say that wouldn't I
, not so sure about the slight curve on the barrel though, looks out of place when the cap is off but not so bad when it's on 
Cheers

Wow, great looking stuff, Sam!
I think the Jr Statesman is still my favorite pen to date. Never turned one meself, but they definitely look much better than the Gentlemens except for the rare occasion where you really need to showcase a busy blank over the kit, and then the plain-ness of the gent is nice.
How's the shoulder holding up? Still spouting the naughty words?

the shoulder is holding up ok just a few sailor type words every now and then.
Good to hear you will be getting back into it also
Wow us with another of your creations

Sam great choice of timber to compliment the kit but as Dj said the barrel seems out of place in relation to the straight sided cap
