Interseting wood and beautiful pen.
A couple of things to point out.
Near the ends where the fittings are it looks like you aversanded at the finial and are proud at the top of the CB,
With soft woods this is something to watch out for.
It also appears you are "proud" at the nib fitting.
That being said it would go in my pocket anyday.

Thanks Eagle. The nib is slightly proud and I was disappointed about that. The picture makes the top of the CB look proud, but it's actually flush. I really need to build a photo booth for the pens. It's definitely interesting to look at and there are more worm holes than wood on this pen. I'd say it's about 20% wood, 50% worm holes and 50% CA. :rolf:
