Exemplar Color Grain

[qquake]

These are the new Exemplar kits from CSUSA. The blanks are Color Grain from PSI, and are similar to the old Dymondwood blanks. The blue one is called Winter Garden, and the red one is Night Fire. They turn and even smell like Dymondwood, but I think they're slightly lower quality. But still, they don't look too bad. The pens are very simple, yet have a classy look, IMHO.

I was somewhat surprised to find out that these kits are Dayacom. They're also very simple.

Yeah, they are on the Dayacom website as the Professor.

Those look really good with the laminated blanks! What did you finish them with?

Just Watco Danish oil. I still haven't perfected a CA finish, and I do like the look of an oil finish.
