Interesting experiment, but I like the maple better as well. And the reason the stars look brighter on the lapis- Laserbits white color fill, rather than the Holly used on the other pens.Originally posted by Tea Clipper
<br />Wow, very nice Lyle! The stars look whiter on the lapis pen too. To be honest, I like the maple better, but they all deserve a salute. [
I have to glue the white stripes in one at a time, and clamp them up 'til they dry- usually 1 1/2 hours each, so I only get a few stripes each night glued up. The 50 stars in the upper barrel go in pretty quickly- I actually am doing nine in this batch, and by the ninth one I was down to about 15 minutes for getting all 50 stars in and glued up....Originally posted by johncrane

try this link http://www.kallenshaanwoods.com/servlet/StoreFront- It should take you to a page that shows 6 different flag kits- the American, Canadian, Texas, California, Colorado, and Israeli. Also the Piano pen and the fish symbol on the same page. If you want to see the gallery of some of the past special items, it's the link fifth down on the right under the pen thumbnails.....
Thanks so much! I'm really looking forward to experimenting with it- hope I can get results as good as yours look!
