kitless

[MShepard]

My newest Kitless attempts. The walnut ended up being so dark you can hardly see the wood grain. Photography on these is not very good,
DSC7386 is a beautiful blank, but has a couple of dust spots on the pic and DSC7392 is green/red and very Christmas.

Very nice lineup! What clip is that? Looks almost like an aero, do you have a source that you don't mind sharing.

They look great.. I'm partial to 383 and and the Walnut pen; wood just seems so right on a hand made pen. Can I ask what the O.D. of the cap and body are on the Walnut FP?

It looks like a Sierra style clip to me also. Sourcing clips for kitless pens has been a real challenge for me. The clips available through the usual sources are OK but I'd really like to find a few more different styles than the ones currently available from Greenwald & Milans. Something with a 12.75-13.5mm ring O.D. would be nice.

You have been hard at work, with very nice results. Nice work!

They look great. How far in do your inserts for the threaded parts go?
Lovely finish and great pens.

Those are some awesome pens!

Your tan background is throwing off the white balance in your camera.
Unless you know how to measure white balance, I would suggest a white or much lighter background. Or increase your lighting to help out.

Fabulous pens'

Charlie69, Thanks for your comments. The diameter of the walnut FP is a little over 14 mm. That's a Churchill clip.

Furini, In the body I have been using a 6-7 mm tenon (12mm diameter), in the cap since I drill out 11.2mm of the 12mm I have been using 10-12mm length, I don't know how much strength is there. When I get a chance I would like to purchase a bit slightly larger than the 12 mm I m currently using.
