    Great work. Good thoughts in the finish. I will have to give that method a try.

    What wonderful grain you have on the pen.

    Love how you have matched up the grain on both barrels.

    Thanks for sharing.

    i had some cocobolo ages ago and had to get rid of it due to allergic reaction to the oil

    every piece was different colors, very solid wood and was a treat to turn

    this piece is no exception with the little curly bit in the body of the pen to add some character

    great job
