Bought these from Timberbits as they looked so unusual and quite professional. No turning needed just assembly:

Ray,
don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but in my opinion, for what it's worth they are @@@@! The colour is on the surface of the blank and they easily chip off, I bought fifteen when they were launched and ended chucking most of them away. The wife liked the look of one, I gave her a blue sierra and it lasted three days in the handbag. Suggest that you may want to finish the blank with a coat of CA and it might last.
isn't that cheating ?, but they do look good.

If I've still got one of the defective ones I'll post a pic when back in the ukI have never bought carbon fiber blanks I always made my own - so easy to make - I dont understand how the colour is on the surface or why they would do that.

They look good but I think I would want to put more work into a pen that just assembling it.
