This is my first attempt at trying a Tycoon pen. I used some spalted pecan that I had in the shop.
The kit is Rhodium and the wood has 8 coats of BLO/CA, then mm to 12000.
I think I like the roller ball pens best of all so far. Looking to try another style to prepare for a craft show next month.
Thank you in advance for looking and providing feedback (positive and negative are welcomed).

Very nice. I am liking the pens I am seenig here now. For a while I thought they were taboo.

Nothing but 2 thumbs up Keith!! I just posted a CSUSA kit, the Executive, only made in gold currently. Not a bad rollerball. Look into the Sierra/Mesa styles and the Aero from CSUSA...nice kits that sell well.

Nicely done! That's a knockout piece of wood, and the fit and finish look to be top notch!

I really like the areo's. Get them from Oklahoman on iap for a good deal.

Everyone, thanks for the kind words and for looking. This is a fun kit.

Scott, couldn't have done this pen without you. You're the go to guy here for this type of nice wood. Looking at doing the next one out of the feathered oak.
