Got this Curly Mango from Ron Fox, Thanks Ron, during the Pen swap a couple weeks ago. Hope you like. The pen itself is a good size. Used 33/64" & 31/64" bits for it. It is the largest pen I have turned to date but it is still not my fav as it seems light therfore I will stick with a Cigar as my pen of choice.

I would also like to thank Ron becasue getting his pen in really caused me to step up my game......

Finished with 25 Coats CA, Wet sand w/ 600 to size then finished to 12000MM, then Huts Ultra High Gloss Polish.

Nice pen Chris. I just roughed out a big blank of mango and that grain pattern of mango is really special. I saved the corners of the square blank for pens!
