My first Zen's,

Blue box elder burls

A natural stabilized box elder burl

The jury is still out on them, it's hard to do group shots of these as they have an uncontrollable "Attraction" to each other....I wonder if they breed like rabbits....

CLINK!

 

[ahoiberg]

those look nice jim. i'm not sure about the kit either, but you've done those justice.

I'm not sure I like the kit, but I like what you've done with it. Nice combinations and nice penmanship.

I have only seen a couple of these that I like. Your craftsmanship looks good, kit just doesn't work for me.

If Zen pens did breed, would they have "STRETCH" marks?

LMAO. Jon that was too funny.

I like every one of them! Very nice selection of materials you have there.

Nice Work as always, I'm starting to like the looks of these, was not sure at first but the more I see the better they look.

My wife wants me to steal these, so if they disappear its not my fault. Very nice.

Nice looking pens Jim [] I think I am one of the few that actually likes the looks of the kit. Your pens as always are beautiful!

I like the blue box elder the most!

Always nice pens from Mr. Jim

They look great, but I fear the effects of the magnets on electronic devices. Put one in a pocket with a PDA or cell phone (or on a laptop)and poof...data gone. Who wants to take that chance?

My concern too

Fantastic pens Jim, beautiful Box Elder Burls but I especially like the white one, is that an acrylic?[]

I am not sure if I will ever add these to my inventory due to the concerns, but they are a nice pen!

The pens look great. The kit, I don't know either. I'm curious how it feels when you write with it because the transition from pen to nib is quite drastic and square.

To me the pens feel light in the hand with out the cap, makes sense, so little hardware...but post the cap and the pen feels unbalanced to me.


I wanted to thank every one for your kind comments, I'll let you know how the weekend goes and if they Sell then they stay, if they don't...Merry Christmas Gifts!

That would only be a problem with devices that use magnetic media. You should be safe with PDAs, Cell Phones, and most MP3 Players. Because they use flash memory, not magnetic media. At least I don't know of any PDAs or Cell Phones with hard drives. Some MP3 players have a very tiny hard drive, and certainly laptops have hard drives, although flash drives may be an option soon.
