Boy that is sure a beauty, I can see you wanting to hang onto that one!

Great looking pen and neat wood!
Is the mango a hard wood? For some reason I've thought it would be more like a palm, but what do I know.

-Yes, CA finish. I didn't trust myself enough to do a plexi finish with this nice of pen.
-Yes, this stuff is hard! Half way in I had to re-sharpen the Gouge. Heavy too!

Wow! That's gorgeous, Jon. I see why you're not actively trying to sell that one.

Great pen! I would even be afraid of taking it out from home for fear of losing it.
