Nicely Done!
The one time that I tried a Pine Cone blank
it 'flew away from my lathe'

Mark great looking pen. Did you apply any finish over the blank?
Love the blank, the finish and the closed end job.. spot on.
Just don't like the gun metal plating for that blank.. But that's me, sorry.

Thats one classy looking pen Mark
I would have used a rhodium or chrome. The gold nib looks really nice touch and matches the blank well but I think all Gold would have been too heavy.. I think the blank deserves Rhodium personally.
I like what you have done, like the kit, the blank and the finish but not together for me.. Then again I am a grumpy old git that knows nowt and doesn't have any taste at all..

When I looked at your pen Mark I thought what a great idea to have black in the front part turns out its gunmetal photographs pure black to me. I have noticed over time a consensus with platings a large number of preferences are for black or gun metal. It is personal mate for me its a ripper as you made it right about the blank.
