Hi guys,
Had a commission from a gentleman in Bath, for four Mistrals, one of each and the fountain pen had a Bock 18kt solid gold nib on it. He wanted Thuya wood dressings on each pen, matched as good one could get.
Had one split on the top barrel, so I had to get some other replacements from Phil.
All finished and sent, he's very pleased with the results.

Best kits, and one of my favorite woods. Then you went and make four perfectly, and well matched besides, each to the others. You earned yourself a tall single malt and your feet up. Simply lovely, that set. Congratulations on your achievement.

Thanks guys.
Glad you all liked them. It's also one of my favourite woods to work with plus Phil's kits have always been a joy to make up.
Thanks again for all your comments.
