    Mate,

    That looks great! Well done on trying something new. I recently did a similar thing using Aluminium bar, it was a swine to get even a reasonable finish on !!

    Nice looking pen, did you turn on a wood lathe or metal lathe? and, is it heavy in the hand? Amos

    I turned it on my little carbatec economy mini lathe (wood lathe). It weights a little bit more than a hardwood one but its not too bad

    Ended up using some acids to knock the shine off and make it look older.

    looks pretty good, a few drops of solder would add a bit of character as well
