Titanium Gold Twist Ballpoint dressed in a piece of Spalted Pecan from a box full of timber I received from Scott SDB777 (IAP) Thanks Scott!
Turned between centers, sanded to 400x, filled worm tracks with MINWAX sanding slurry, sanded to 400x, buffed with Ultrafine Steel Wool and applied 6 coats of MINWAX Clear Gloss Polyurethane.

Not to take away from a great pen...but Minwax sanding slurry? Is this a product or are you adding stuff to Minwax? Looks like it works very well and the tip portion of the pen has a lot of character!

MINWAX Sanding Slurry: Mix the sanding dust from the pen blank with the MINWAX Poly to fill voids.
Works great for me!
