Just a word of caution, I have turned snakewood that developed cracks several days after the pen was finished. that being said, you might want to wait a day or two before you sell it. But besides that, that's a great looking pen!! I need to get me a few of those baron kits.

Dave, basically that is what this thread is all about... the fact that he made it and then it cracked and we all all trying to come up with ways around it...
 
I don't know if this would work but it has for me with ebony.
Drill the holes for the tubes slightly oversized, then deburr the
ends of the tubes fairly heavily to get a loose fit when putting the
pen together. This sounds far to simple to work, but who knows.
I've also ordered a couple snakewood blanks from BB.[:)]
