I wish you could have also gotten a photo of the barrel of the finished pen.
I changed "feathered" to "featured" which I think is the word you had wanted to use!
Friend hard at work turning a new barrel for a high-end pen... He is one of the top 10 pen makers in the USA! Photo to be feathered in "Pen World" the journal of writing culture...
Nice image of someone working.
The journal title made me think of one of the biggest mistakes(?) for an internet URL- it's still extant:
https://www.penisland.net/![]()
No, it's not what you might think! They sell fine pens.
<grin>
