Les, Let me be the first (but probably not the last) to say how much I like this pen. The spalted pecan is fantastic !! I really like the one-piece pen blank style of pens because they show off the wood more than many of the others. The pen has a very appealing shape to boot. There isn't anything that I don't like about this one. I'd say you nailed it.

Correction, Let me be the second...

Nicely done, Les!

Another beauty, Les. I'm gonna have to give that poly finish a try next time I turn some pens... It looks at least as good as my CA finish, and I'm sure it smells a heck of a lot better.
