No I do not agree on the less curvy I like it. I think what takes away from the eye is the high wood figure and the plane inlay/segment/ all in all ya did a good job. Nice fit also

Ca is superglue and what it does is makes a deep shine and a hard finish for the pen that will outlase shellawax. I still use shellawax/after ca finish/and I do not use blo.

#2 is that to scale??? Nice job on those.

I never could hold the blank and mill it. I use the drill press holding the blank with my blank vise / the vise is VERY loose /it lets the blank straighten itself so I do not cut myself. But cool...

ya might be new here but are defently not a beginner. They look great! Good fit and nice finish.

Looks great!!!!! Now ya just gotta finish that pen stand. I love pink ivory also it cuts like a dream.

Nice looking!!! The pen kit kinda looks like the sculptured kit we have in the states. I too like that kit. Let us know how the sap wood holds up.

VERY NICE!!!!! I like the fit and finish. I also like the little fish clip/ I am not a fan of the oversized ones.
