One of the new Sirocco pen kits in spalted hornbeam, with black chrome fittings. It's finished with melamine lacquer.
The hornbeam is pretty far gone, and sadly a bit soft under the abrasives, so my nicely conceived profile ended up a bit thinner at it's waist than I'd planned, but thankfully not at its ends. I wanted to use it though, because it went with the black fittings so well, so I decided I'd carry on anyway.

Worked hard on getting that out so soon Phil. Looks really good.
Hope us underlings can get our hands on the kits.

Like what I see so far your match is indeed just right and appropriate. Like to see how it is in the instruction sheet. Black stealth pen.

Looks good Phil, you ain't a bad pen turner are you?:winking:

I love Hornbeam wood, especially when it's got some nice sparring like that has.

Nice looking kit, look forward to seeing a few more on the forum soon.

Thanks for your kind comments gents. Yes everyone will get a chance soon - the main bulk of the production kits are in the air now. I'll put a pre-order special offer package together and post it in the Beaufort Ink seller forum either later today or tomorrow.
