You've some detail and patience there George, that is really sharp and excellent workmanship - I can tell you're a fisherman with that patience

Still too cold for fishing so how about next one you do the leaves in gold leaf :thumbs:::thumbs::wink:

That is very nice George I think your right about the centre band, what pen kit is it.

I think that is really nice George. I agree about the centre band, it does somehow detract from the pyrography. Looks more balanced now I think.

Now that Is one superb looking pen George.

The way you have left the cb out really makes the match between the top on bottom sections is in my view spot on.

The only thing I would look at next is doing it on a higher end kit, your work is worthy of a top end fountain pen and believe would command a greater selling price as well.

Top class and perfection.

Just a modified slimline. I want to move onto some of the bigger better quality pen kits soon to do the pyrowork a bit more justice.

I think the right way to look at this George is.

" I need a decent pen kit to do my pyro work justice" :thumbs:

Don't under sell your quality and workmanship, you deserve better and so should have better.

I see this one is from the branch office, love the leaf design.

The acid test of kit V Kit is to do them on different ones then selling.

This one is outstanding and a show stopper, very well made.
