Mesquite Burl FP
A Navigator Fountain Pen, dressed in Mesquite burl, finished with Acrylic Lacquer.
Got lucky and managed to match up the sap wood at the center band.

Great looking pen Ed.
A good photo helps to show a pen at its best, and yours look good.

You know, you don't have to always use an expensive 'High-End' pen kit to achieve a stunning Timber pen. It really is all about the Wood, the prep quality, & finish technique. Great pen !!
I never forget anything I remember !!
