My wife chose the colors when I cast this blank and I promised it to her. I chose a Rockler Longwood component set because the extra-long 1-piece barrel lets the burl/resin blank shine.

I admit to a hidden agenda here. A while back I caught her using a cheap plastic pen. I thought I'd made enough custom pens that she'd get rid of all the crap ones. Maybe now?

Thought about doing a photo essay on this but pens are quite technical and it came out to 13 pix.
