Caballero kits Olive, Bocote, Ebony

[iMattDaddy]

I am really enjoying these rollerball kits, but finally got out the real camera to take some decent pics. Sorry I can only post one at a time. Any comments and critiques are welcome.

All VERY NICE !!! ... but the Olive one takes the cake, IMO !!!

What finish did you use ?

 

[iMattDaddy]

Thanks for the compliments. All are CA finished. Olive is at the very top of my list of favs for every reason... Easy to turn, great looking wood, even smells good.

Beautiful pens Matthew, can you check that the lower barrel is round the correct way on the Bocote one, the nib end is 13.0mm tapering down gently to a 12.2mm. I done the same many times.

Sorry I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you saying that the bushings were switched?

No, simply that the nib end and finial end should be unscrewed and switched round.
