Last two pens sorted for Christmas - Talk about last minute

Fountain Pen is an Omega using a blank from Oz via George Valentine - mix of Huon Pine and Resin. Lovely to work with but finish on the Pine was hard work Hijacked a case to show it off a little better. My photos don't do justice to George's work

Elegant Sierra with some of the Thuya that Alex gave the heads up on. Problem is I could not get it to shine (ca) managed it eventually but not sure I can remember how. Are there some tricks I need to know please??
