I whipped up this lizard pen this morning with lightning style legs and arrows in it's body. It has beautiful bright vibrant colors of yellow and red with just a splash of turquoise. The Natives viewed lizards as a symbol of transformation dreaming and regrowth.

You sir, are a lucky man. My weed eater is also a sock stealer and a pen black chewer. Oh, and by the way, fantastic looking blank. The colors are terrific.

My weed eater likes to eat metal bars, rocks, and the crotch out of my wife's underwear is desert. :eek::biggrin:

Ha !!! That old chestnut!!!! Blame the dog for the knickers!!!!:biggrin:


Great colours in that mix Jeff. Nice and vibrant.

Does the clip rotate as you twist the finial?

Oh man..you are bad Steve! :rotfl:

I bore out those cigar clips so they fit over the tube and the ring above secures everything in place. The button contains the activator tube for the tranny and there is a short tennon at the bottom of the button, the OD being just slightly smaller than the ID of the tube, the tennon stops the button from slopping around on top of the pen. Pretty simple..just like in the article on the homepage..nothin much too it and it's at least half the weight of a cigar pen.
