I recently crossed the threshold of my 400th pen. This week I turned a piece of cocobolo. Inside the coloration was superb. Thanks for looking.

The wood is cocobolo.
Wet sanded micromesh with walnut oil.
The finish is Pens plus, in more of a satin shine than high gloss.
Assembled with blue loctite in the fittings.

Wow, that's a pretty piece of wood. I like the more natural looking finish on this. I've been doing more lately with a low sheen finish, too.

Nice pen Todd. I also like the natural finish, where you can see the grain - and that is a nice piece of Cocobolo!
