Margaret, managed to arrange that I would make a couple of friends, each an acrylic stylus pen, they wanted one in white and one in blue to match their tablets.

So I decided that the Sierra was most readily available, the two pens can be seen below.

These are the first Sierras I have tackled and only my third & fourth acrylics. :rolling::rolling::rolling:

You've done a good job on both of those Billy but I hope you're not sickening for something making plastic pens :funny:

No I don't thinks so Paul, its what our friends specifically asked for, one good thing about doing them, it gave me plenty of practice at sharpening (which is not my forte), I seemed to have to sharpen up every 5 minutes, so back to the wood I think. :rolling::rolling::rolling:

Nice pair there Billy.:thumbs: But i'm not sure about the kits though..

I think you may well be right about the kit, would be better in chrome, I will just have to put that down to experience and of course buy some chrome ones for the next time I get asked for them, more expense :rolling::rolling::rolling:

Two very nice pens Billy, I for one like plastic as much as wood, and if that is what was asked for, that's what is supplied.
