This is becoming one of my favourite pens the "Click Mechanism" is Outstanding and the Engineering is excellent.
This one is dressed in some cross cut Cocobola that I got from our Jim. I could not believe the grain that came through during turning.

That's a lovely piece of wood:thumbs:I have still not finished a Tempest, I am hoping I may be able to get one done for the December competition, but it's not for sure.

Vic is referring to the wood. The kit comes from Beaufort Ink - there are no agents for it in the US currently but we ship from the UK to all four corners of the globe almost every day. Without Christmas in the way it usually takes about a week to reach the States and shipping to you starts from just over £3

Shameless advertising - sorry. But you did ask:whistling:
