Great looking work Rasmus. Is the wood Amboyna? Very pretty stuff.
Welcome to the abyss! Lookin' forward to more.;):)

[Rasmus Petersen]

no the wood is elm knot or burl. sanded to 1200 and friction polished.

Those are especially nice looking pens. Is the finish just clear over raw wood or is stain to hilught details first? Either way they look great. Congrats!

[Rasmus Petersen]

Welcome! Realy nice looking pen set. You have a good eye for wood and seem to know what to do with it. I predict good things to come. I have a couple of pen kits just waiting for some nice blanks.
