Managed to get this pen finished so took a picture today to see what you think?

Some more pictures here as well including my first try at concentric turning!

Thanks Colin,

The colour in the picture is not quite balanced - it is Tulipwood and I used CA, micromesh, CA, micromesh, BLO then a quick finish with friction polish.

I used Cocobolo for the pen and pencil set and that looks even better IMO and was a nice wood to turn - hardly needed sanding! :lol:
