That's a nice pen Paul. The knot is a nice feature on what would be a bland piece of wood. I wonder how it would look with the stain treatment to bring the grain out.:thumbs:

I did think about adding a touch of stain Bill but was a bit worried in case it ruined it and I don't have many of these blanks and and would have to wait another 50 years for some more :thumbs:
