Some images of my new EDC pen. Dressed in TruStone. Love the dimensions, design and feel.

Very Cool. The TruStone and Stainless look nice together. - Dave

Nice pen, I'm a huge fan of green. What is Trustone like to turn. I've heard it's challenging, so I've been a bit afraid to give it a try?

Thanks for posting it Tony. Looks GREAT. I'll have to give the Coyote a try!

I find the darker colors more brittle, but that may be my imagination. I do cut the corners off with a bandsaw (I also turned many without doing do). I used a HSS roughing gouge and then skew with light cuts and frequent sharpening. It probably took me 15 to 20 minutes just to turn the blank including the frequent sharpening. Give it a shot!
