Beautiful contrast. Always a thrill to see how it comes out! As always - comments/suggestions welcomed.

Love the blanks, I am not a fan of thick barrels, but the finish looks great. And I think the kit really goes with the blank.

Nice looking pen, I really like the blank and pairing with the kit. Well done

..great finish and beautiful timber. I like the segmentation for sure. The upper and lowers do not match very well to me. Yes, they do contrast, too much so IMO, shape wise that is, and color too. A lot of folks like the "wasp"shape of the lower barrel and some, not so much. The main thing is that YOU like the way you made it and that is what matters the most. When one asks for comments and suggestion we, us, can be quite frank as we all have our own likes and dislikes. Often times I too have been taken aback to some comments on my work/play but too, I realize everyone has different taste buds. Make what you like and BE HAPPY! Be well........Jan

Totally agree. No problem with being honest. That's another thing I like about this forum!

Yes - the lower and upper do not match well - but they are from the same blank. That's why I selected it. Preference is just that. Not right or wrong. I appreciate your comments.
