It has been awhile since l posted a pen, now this is the first Havana ballpoint and the last one,l wish now l had got more in.as l don't think its stocked any more. anyway halfway thru last year l picked up six packages of US bucks and l made up a few blanks. l also make my own moulds which does help me out, now with this pen l decided it was large enough on the finial end too take a small compass l have tried too do it on other kits but this one has worked out the best so far The photos are not the best as always.

I think Laulau woods has the Havana with the stone, your's looks great haven't cared much for the others I've seen, but the money blank and the stone seem to go well

Beautiful pen, John, but wouldn't it have been easier to hammer the nail into the bench and THEN cut the head off? [8D]

Hi John,
Casting,US Dollars, a Compass,make your own moulds,I call this progress that paid off bigtime,I find your pics easy to see in the main,not the least bit sterile as well as demonstrating a workshop in action.
The pen deserves a special place.
Regards Peter
