Everyone's doing it (pens)

I have seen a lot of recent posting about pens and pen turning. So I thought I would share my latest turning.

It is a gold slimline pen with Bubinga and curly birch and a Bubinga center band. I sanded it to 2000 grit applied BLO and then applied a few coats of a CA finish and sanded it out to 12000 with micro Mesh pads. I like the CA finsh but will not do it very thick. Too thick and it is too much like plastic, and then what is the point of making it out of wood!

Let me know what you think... I'll put it up on my sight soon.
