Next to last relative's pen. One more to do in pink acrylic and I am out of the free pen business.

Here we have an American Classic Snap Cap (verses screw cap) dressed in slant cut diamond wood. A niece wanted blue and red but she will have to settle for a little yellow mixed in. Sanded to 12000 micro mesh after finishing with 4 coats of medium CA. Sanded to 3600 between coats starting with 1500.

Nice work, JD, and I bet you are glad the "relative pens" have come to an end!! Hope you figured out some diplomatic way to let them all know this was the last freebie!;)

Gorgeous pen, JD. I'm starting to have a pen itch myself and when I see beautiful work such as what you've shared here, I get closer to investing more green in the vortex!
