I had this nicely figured Desert Ironwood I selected for the Pretty Wood contest. The body section of the pen blew apart into 3 pieces while turning. I found the pieces and glued them back together with lots of thin CA and shavings and dust in the cracks and two small missing areas. It helps that my eye sight isn't as good as it use to be, it hides the flaws a bit. Many coats of thin and medium CA, sanded and polished to the final finish. The body near the end is too large for the hardware but I didn't want to chance the blank coming apart again.
The kit is an older gen 1 Jr Statesman with 10mm and 12mm tubes, finished in Rhodium and Gold.
