Billy three Dymondwood pens in a row mate that would fly off the stand IMHO my carry pen for many years was one it was a conversation piece and if I had chosen a certain seller it is a hard finicky material I still have a large block of it your designed pens choosing to turn, join them this way striking. Love them keen to see more of this highly underrated material. Indeed thanful for your pens today.

Thanks Jim, their seems to be a bit of a shortage of Dymondwood blanks in the UK at the moment, no one seems to be stocking a wide choice. I understand their was a fire at the factory last year in the USA, could be the reason. But i've gotta get more :thinks::thinks:
