One of my first rollerballs. The olivewood blank had a few hairline cracks,
but I found it too nice to throw away, so I filled the cracks with Liberon Gold Cream.
Critique welcome.

Nothing wrong with that one Horst. Very nicely done.

I really like it... I love those satin finished pens... they just look so elegant.

very nicely done. small suggestion: I would fill the cracks with glue infused ground coffee beans, especially since the crack goes through the darker areas of the wood.

Thanks for the kind comments.

@ Norm: good suggestion, but in this case I didn't want to hide the
cracks but rather highlight them and maybe add a little "touch of class" to the pen.

Nice job. Really like the grain and the fill. Cool pen, and good photos.

Great pen, the filled cracks add some contrast.
