New Berea stuff...

[YoYoSpin]

Received a big box of goodies from Arizona Silhouette today:

Fruitcake EPR via new Ultra Cigar...

Acrylic lamination via new Ultra Cigar...

Dyed Boxelder burl via new Click Sierra...

 

[winpooh498]

They all look great! I like the Sierra best. Not sold on the new cigar yet.

Did you swap out some parts on your pen kits? The reason I didn't like the ultra cigar is that it has a silver tip and gold clip, or vise versa...yours doesn't...

 

[YoYoSpin]

"Have you worn a stillsuit before, young Duke? No, but it seemed to be the proper way...The prophecy unfolds...and he shall know your ways." Sorry, I couldn't resist quoting Dune.

Yes; I mixed up the parts a bit...seemed like a better combination to me [8D]

[DozerMite]

Nice...I like the orange one.

 

[Tea Clipper]

I'd switch mine around too, looks great Ed! I think it's Berea's crafty way to sell TWO pens at a time. [:0]

 

[maxwell_smart007]

I completely agree, Ed! I think it's a great looking kit when it's matched like that - otherwise, it looks unbalanced, but you really nailed it with the mismatch!

 

[louisbry]

Nice pens. I like the sierra.

All ver nicely made and all Very nice pens, particularly the Sierra.[][]
That cigar kit has me in two mins,I think because it has its own identity crisis.

Fantastic work Ed, I am going to swap the nibs over when I get some new cigars![]

 

[Buzz]

Agree, excellent work Ed. I too think that swapping the nibs is the way to go, helps tone it down a little.

I have some of the new two-tone chrome Sierras and a couple of Cambridges on order and will get some click Sierras and the new Cigars next time.

The click Sierra seems to be getting good reviews from those making them, what do you think of them?

Must be getting used to seeing these new pens, the Ultra Cigar and Cambridge initially impressed as being too flashy for my taste.

 

[YoYoSpin]

Thanks everyone. I am really impressed with the new Sierra clicker. The click mechanism seems to be very sturdy and reliable...good thing too, as I bought 100 of these kits [:I]

 

[bradbn4]

So that is why AS was sold out on some of the Click Sierra's -- I understand now

Hey Brad...you snooze, you lose [8D]. BTW, here are some more of the Sierra clickers in different plating options:

Great work as always Ed.... I gotta learn subtlety with my whooopDeDoos, sure love the way you incorporate that styling in your pens.

 

[johncrane]

Ed! your pens are always top notch .[][]

 

[Hayseedboy]

After quoting Dune, kinda made me wonder. Are you from the House of Atreides? Maybe Duke Yo-Yo Atreides?

B E A utiful pens!

I guess I spent too much time buying a few of Cambridge styles before they sold out. Now to figure a way to warm up my garage. Are you working inside your new place? And with your old secondary lathe gone, did you get that new robost lathe?

Great looking work Ed.

I am starting to warm up to the Cigar design, but I don't like the click version of the Sierra....

Nice pens though and I like the way you moved some hardware around on the Cigar.
