Those are nice. Question: my original "wasp waisted" pens were a result of a lack of patience and a lack of experience. Were these shapes a choice? Also, are the turned pieces level with the the kit pieces? The pens look nice either way. Like the man said, "keep 'em coming!"

Thanks for your comments. There is a slight hair line offing on the nib on one pen, The Acyrilic pen rolled over on the side a bit ,when taking photo,might give an impression of way out of shape,but nice pen too hold,Yes ,I meant the shapes of the pens,I use a Skew a lot,still learning,but ,I believe if you get any were near mastering the Skew,(a big ask,I know) you will produce nicer work.

Yours Kindly Paul
