First Not from a Kit pen

[PatrickR]

Here is my first complete (3rd attempt), not from a kit Pen. I picked up a couple sections from Beaufort before having to make one.
Bock #5, m12 3t threads, Desert Iron Wood, Acrylic sleeves and Imitation Ivory. No finish, sanded up to 4000.
C&C welcome.

Man you are really turning out some beautiful pens these days and this one is right there too. Love the design, shape, and woods and materials used. The end caps are a nice touch. You included it all on this one. Nice job.

thanks! I have used the finial design on a number of jr series kits and have adopted it as my "mark"

Thank you very much JT. The design evolved as I made it, although I knew in general what I wanted.
I want to try and incorporate my wire casting into a kitless at some point. Actually it shouldn't be terribly difficult, more room on the barrel.

I thought I had more process pics but only one. Next time.
