This should be the next to last batch of pens for my siblings, in-laws, and out-laws.:) If my count is right I have only two more to make as soon as I pick up a couple of specific blanks and/or kits or maybe it was one of each... getting forgetful in these golden retirement years:o In anycase two more should get me out of the free pen business.;)

This one is a chrome slim line using black and white ebony wood. I had some trouble with the black imbedding into the white from sanding but it dosen't show in the photos.
The finish is 4 coats of medium using a method I read about here on the creek. It has been sanded with miro mesh to 12000 grit. I just switched from thin CA. Seems to be a lot less wasted CA. The medium dosen't drip and goes on just as smooth.
BTW whomever suggested using the paper towel as an aplicator, here is a big thanks;). I tried to find your name to thank you personally but no luck yet.

Here we have four slim lines one gold and three chrome. From left to right we have gold with Eastern cedar, chrome with Eastern cedar, chrome with walnut, and chrome with cherry. Same finish as above.
