Both Havana kits (high-end Rhodium and the other Titanium Gold) the Rhodium kit is with Deer Antler and the Gold kit with my favourite wood is Honduras Rosewood - notice how the grain matches up nicely and that the clips are in line with the nibs in an open position, also when the pen is closed the grain matches up as they should do, both pens where commisioned by one customer and sold for £95.00 each, these kits are one of my biggest sellers they are short and stumpy taking tubes that require 14.5 and 12.5 drill bits.

Thought I would share these with you guys. are forgot to mention that a 1/8 tenon is required for the center ring.

Merv, Like the workmanship, like the wood, but my preference would be to leave the horn on the deer, or the antler in the park and eat the deer!

Nice attention to detail to get the clips to line up and the grain in the open position, but you mention the grain lines up in the closed position as well? How do you work that one out?
