Tycoon Pen with Spalted Pecan

[Leviblue]

I had some spalted pecan (thanks to Scott Smith) in the shop, a few more blanks still there, that I wanted to try. So I got a Tycoon Rhodium kit and this is what I came up with. The pecan has 8 coats of BLO/CA polished to 12000mm and Novus 2.

Thank you in advance for any feedback (positive and negative are welcomed).

Beautiful work. I've not been brave enough to try a pen yet, but I think your work may have pulled the trigger for me. Thanks for posting the pics.

Pens are fun! That one is very sharp!. I'll second the offer if you need someone to test it out for you.

Wow, that is sweet, and worthy of the calender contest.

I've always thought that spalted anything makes for a great pen, you just reinforced that belief. Well done.
