This is the Celticus kit from woodenpenpro.com. The relief on the hardware doesn't have the depth as on some of the high end kits, but the price is certainly right on it. The lower barrel tube is much narrower than you would expect so there is a lot of meat on the finished barrel. The bit is 11/32, so I assume Blade bushings would fit the tube (with a different diameter, of course) but I couldn't find mine so I went straight to TBC. Bushings... eh... I don't use them the way they were intended anyway.

The wood is Australian Blackwood from Griffin Exotic Woods. I can't seem to do justice to the chatoyance in pictures or video. The finish is GluBoost, polished through the grits of Zona paper and then some Maguires plastic polish.

IDK if the video will show up here, but I'm attempting to embed it from my Google Drive.
Edit: I guess that's a no, but at least you don't have to download anything to see it in a browser.
