Now ill be the first to say I didn't like these when I first saw them. But after seeing more of them I thought I should have a go at one. Glad I did as they really are a beautiful pen. Well made components too. This has a nice bit of Thuya Burl on it. Lush:thumbs:

I made this kit a year ago and was slated on this site.
Times and people change and so do tastes .
I believe there was an anti PSI approach to anything new at the time.
However
Your pen is stunning and all the ones i made were sold and as you say , the components are a solid and a good quality pen they are.
Great looking pen and well turned

I do like the look of it and I like to see different pens, even if some are not to my taste it makes a change from the same old. Anyway, it's a lovely pen:thumbs:
