Woodturning | Handmade Pens from Walnut

Hello, friends!
Come check out our brand new shop launch! formanwoodwork...
_____________________________________
In today's video, I turn some ball-point and fountain pens from Black Walnut. This is not my first time working with walnut, but it is my first-time using walnut for pen turning, and I have to say, walnut sure does make for some nice pens!
What pen kit (gold, chrome, or black) do you think goes best with this dark wood? Let me know down below in the comments!
