First attempt at a custom wood pen. Special thank you to Fred Bruche for his posts on the subject and for answering a few additional questions.

14mm body to cap threads
11mm section threads

Questions comments and critiques welcome.

Really nice. Is the cap interior lined with a resin of sorts?

Cap and body are both lined with liquid diamonds that I dyed black. I used Fred's no glue method. In short I drilled for the liner. 16 mm for the cap and 1/2" for the body. I used several layers of blue painters tape wrapped tightly around the top and then poured in the resin.

All credit to Fred. I have been working on some other pens where I have had to sleeve the material. This is a lot easier.
 
Thank you. Like many of my firsts this one is being added to my personal collection as I find using them as enjoyable as making them.

I agree the few I sell the money goes to a childrens Charity so for me it's the fun of making them .
