Hand Carved Wooden Pen - No Lathe Pen Challenge

I recently decided to learn how to carve wood and this is basically my second attempt at a real project. It wasn't very smooth, as making completely accurate shapes is something I have yet to master, but overall I'm really happy with the result. It is also my entry to the "No Lathe Pen Challenge" which is a contest being hosted by the One Car Workshop, have a look at the current entries in their playlist:
