Not to my taste Johnny but you've made a great job of it. I haven't heard of the wood either!
Love the blank but not keen on the kit but you've done a good job Johnny.

Johnny three things stand out lovely finish finish, colour with beaut detail using the red and green lines a pen blank we would think about a lot before we bought ten of them. Then you combined them to take over with that sweet package one compliments and negates, the others shout out here is a pen to be reckoned with. The innovation works a treat mate all class IMHO. This is what penmaking is all about having a go going in where others fear to tread looking at pens through potential customers eyes and relying on your skills to boost pens out of the carpark boot sale and into the homes of that most sought out of persons satisfied customers. Go you innovator go mate. I do look forward to nyour latest product you have never failed to impress.

Your segmenting is getting better and better! The only complaint is that some idiot called that wood 'black' limba. He must have been blind ...

I must confess the name black limba made me laugh a bit cause a local bloke yrs ago in Carba tec has a smart reply to species name beenatree, I was surprised to learn its a tropical tree in Africa the light coloured stuff called white and the darker streaked timber black thimples I guess comes with warnings respiratory.
