Made this today and dressed it in a very nice piece of Thuya burr in keeping with what the Victorian cabinet makers would have used as vernier on their top quality furniture finished this one with sanding sealer and spray melamine to go in my collection

I think you could make a silk purse out of a wotsits dodah, and that shows it well... That's a cracking piece of timber which makes that kit look really nice.... Really nice job on that :drool::drool:

I’m not a lover of the pen, but certainly looks well with the thuya.
