I Finally Screwed Up the Courage

[jcm71]

In an earlier thread I originated I ask for advice on what to pair a Huanghuali blank with. I got the blank (again courtesy of Mark James) when I won the Blanks, Blocks, and Burls auction during the birthday bash. I expressed trepidation on pairing it with a Majestic Jr or similar sized pen due to the size of the blank(11/16 inch square). Magpens and GoodTurns convinced me that I could. I decided to pair it with a Jr. Emperor fountain pen, which I purchased during the EB group buy (thank you again, Richard). Finished with CA, and upgraded to a Heritance nib.

Here are the pics. I hope I did the Huanghuali justice. Now all I have to do is figure out how much to charge for it. Comments and critiques welcome. BTW, I saved the shavings, if there are any casters out there interested.
