these are my first pens the are made out of acrylic white beefwood and plum.
I usually just cut my blanks shorter with just a little extra room left for the grip, this way I can save wood scraps (my "dutch" upbringing) and also I don't have to spend as much time turning down to the brass tube.but did wonder at the time how to insert the rubber grip part????

<br />Nice! The plum and white beefwood I don't think I have ever seen before. I think I am in the minority with respect to the comfort kits, I really like them.

Do you really like them or are you not crazy about how they look[]?[]?[]?Originally posted by GBusardo
<br />I voted "Can't stand them" But I really don't mind them. Actually I like the way they feel and people (potential customers and friends) seem to like them also. Personally, I'm not crazy about the way they look, and paring off so much great wood for a piece of rubber kinda "turns" my stomach.

It seems like non woodworkers like the rubber piece though. It also kills me to have to pare off really nice wood. Someone had a suggestion of gluing up a piece of oak or similar wood, so when you pare down, you pare down the oak. I like the way the kits look, but don't like the rubber, make sense?
