Thats great! May I ask how difficult it was to do that? I was thinking of doing something similar, but was too intimidated to try. Very nice pen

Perry,

That give a whole new look to that "kit", and it's a good look. Nice piece of wood, too, and terrific result.

I really like what you have done with that pen. Fit, finish, modification, choice of wood - all good.

Not really too difficult but time consuming. The drilling is critical and turning the smaller pieces was a challenge for me,haven`t done much small turning.

Thanks for the nice words.

How do you take the wall street complletely apart? i have seen others do something like that but never could figure out how they get the pen apart with out scratching and such.

Terry, It`s not too difficult to take it apart. I first used a punch and knocked out the nib,the rest just sorta fell apart. On the clip assembly I again used a punch and knocked the finial out,a bit more difficult but it will come. Then the rest just came apart.
Hope this helped and good luck,
Perry

I've been wanting to do that to the nib end. I'll have to try that soon.
