Beautiful! Wood, fit and finish are wonderful. I agree it looks like a keeper.

I found a supplier for DI burl (with lots of eyes) but at close to $15.00 a piece...I can't afford any of it. [V]

CA. I find the triple distilled thin from Berea, the Maxi-cure thick from Grizzly, the 1500 micromesh sheet, and wax paper to be indispensable. Turning your pen perfectly round really, really, really helps, too.

<br />your photo skills are top notch too. Great pen.

I do that with a scanner, actually. I really need to get a camera.

That and Paint Shop Pro.

Seven. (I really ought to upgrade. PSP is up to version 10, I think.)

Oh, and the Mystical Lighting accessory.

Actually, you have a point. Only one piece of the three had the consipcuous pearls-in-the-wood burl figure, but it's still exhibition grade. I'll let you all know what the Countess thought of it, when it gets to France and she gets it for Christmas.

I just heard from the guy I got them from, and he has twelve more just cut and dried. The price is hefty for blanks though. $16-$18 per.

These are the "top five" according to him.

I actually prefer the more "curly" stuff I used to the burl. PM me if you're interested to know where to get them. $100 minimum order. Too rich for me, but I may try a group buy to get a pair for myself.
