That is really nicely done! I think what really makes these pens work is when the blank is on the subtle side. That way the blank doesn't compete with the pen parts. Superb job!
Very nice pen. Best way to keep it from her mother is get your wife's name engraved on it unless they both have the same name then it's gone. What is the blank?
after seeing your's I'm beginning to like the kit a little more, something to do with the combination of a fairly plain blank and the kit. Looks like a winner
