Hey, this pen is perfect just the way it is. I would not have enclosed the cap end either !. This is a "Keeper" !!. GRATS

That's a very nice pen Ben, beautiful piece of teak. I have some, but it's nothing like that. From what I've seen recently, you must have a good supply of quality burl stashed away. Half your luck. Do you have a big bore closed end Mandrel? If not, how do you hold the blank?
Keep up the good work.

For your first attempt for a closed end pen, it is one to be proud of. The colour and figure in the burl is amazing and fit up and finish is excellent. I have some Teak but sadly it is just a golden honey colour. It is definately a keeper.
Cheers

Hi Ben,
I agree Teak is for furniture Teak Burl is for Conni or well cant spell it but special things like Pens.
Had a good gaze at it the other day it is different and exciting, you have turned and finished to display distinction.
Well done mate, keep them coming again.
Kind regards Peter.Nil Desperandum
