This is a Cirque pen in gunmetal and chrome, from Woodcraft, and is my first. The blank is a stabilized spalted tamarind, dyed turquoise, also from Woodcraft. It kind of reminds me of the ProX from Turners warehouse. Not much spalting in the blank, but very pretty color. Overall, a very nice pen.

This is actually the second attempt. The first had an inclusion in it. I tried filling it with CA and shavings, but didn't like it. So I turned it off and started over.

Lots of parts in the kit. One oddity is that the finial comes loose from the cap, and has to be glued in.

I made this for a friend's son's fiance. She has an unusual name.
