This is a Slimline style pen turned out of Ambrosia Maple with satin nickel hardware. It is a thin pen, a little over 4 1/2 inches long. This has a single twist, retractable mechanism that uses a Cross refill.

There are some minor flaws in this pen, as shown in the images. They escaped my notice until I had assembled the pen.

A bit about of the process of creating these pens: I start with a hand-selected bit of wood and the bits that make up the mechanism of the pen. I then spend some time working the wood to be the proper diameter to match the mechanism. Sand paper is applied, through a number of grits, to get a nice, smooth surface. Several coats of finish are applied and buffed. The wood and mechanism are then combined to create a fabulous writing instrument.
