Just finished this Yew Cyclone for a Christmas present.

Little bit of cracking around the knot on the cap, unfortunately, but I don't think it detracts excessively.

A fab cross grain cut piece of yew. Love the fact you incorporated the knot on the cap. Brilliant idea Robert and nice looking pen.

Cross cut has a bit of a habit of doing that! I either is a very delicate skew, or a #80 gouge!

A very nice pen. I like making pens with cross grain.
