Do you like yours with or without?

Designer casing and antler that is. I've allways left the c/b off of these until today. Guess I've been to lazy to cut the tenon. It really only takes an extra 2-3 minutes to cut the tenon and I think it dresses up the pen. From now on I think I will use the C/B, what do you all think!

See Gary it's not tru-stone<s>d</s>

Maker's preference or if the customer wants/doesn't want it. With this kit I believe either way would work. []

Sharp. On this kit, I think it really ads to the look. [8D]

I will go without just because of the color tone diffrence between the CB and the casing. Plus, I think it appears "cleaner" without.

I like them both and I don't have a preference. Nice work.

Roy,both look great but I prefer W/O.

Personally I like the one with the c.b. But we all have opinions and we know what those get you.Great pens both

 

[stevers]

I do all mine without the CB. I feel it distracts from the casing and the CB's don't match the casings well enough on most kits. My 2 cents.

Normally I like without, but that one looks great with.

Roy,
I think you've done fine work here, though the center band is attractive, I prefer the less distracting no C.B. look. I like to use a thin, black acrylic segmented band there. That being said, what the customer wants, the customer gets.

I think the CB is too much but only on the gold. That black TiN looks awesome with the band. Both are definitely great looking pens.
