Brother Jim, I love the product. The wood is beautiful. Don't think I have ever seen it before, but I will be searching woodcraft next time I go to see if they carry it. The reason I said product, is that I love the pen when it is closed, but so much chrome when open. But that's just me. The pen is beautiful. Just for the heck of it, (Texan for "By the way") what would it sell for? :thumbs:

Jim, where did you get the kits from? Are they old stock from TB or have you managed to source the nib holders and nibs?

I have about thirty of the roller balls and would love to be able to ofer this pen as a fountain.

Corky - As a roller ball I have sold this at £42.50 so about 65 USD.

Jim, just picked up on the original post date! Is this the same kit as the retro?

Neil, I have seen this pen kit named differently across the web, including the Renaissance pen kit so i wouldn't be surprised if it was the same kit? :thinks:

Need to get some. Whats it like to turn?

Not that tough Rowdy, on some occasions i have had to stabilise it with thin super glue to fill small voids ... :thumbs:
