Woody, what is the Metonymy 'the pen is mightier than the sword' and you sure have a few to go at here...  if it had to be one .. the bamboo .. but then they're all upto your impeccable best.

Thank you for sharing.

Cheers   David

Woody,

you keep posting pens like this and you might convert me to having a go.

I've seen the cross-cut bamboo used as a pen barrel before, it's a stunning effect. Does the grain end's need any special filling to achieve a super smooth finish?
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

No mate the last few cuts were made with a skew that David kindly sent me after my Op then I just sanded it to 600 grit and polished it and it gives a great finish
