Two weekends worth of shavings

[rickstef]

Hi all,

Just finished a nice bunch of pens, at least my family and I agree on that.

First off, is a pair of Europeans, Tactile Black hardware from CSUSA, and the Denver and Holstein EPR blanks from AS

Being a huge Flyers fan, I had to do this.

Next up, is a Slimline, Gold Titanium, from AS, and the Summer blank from Woodcraft(new lineup)

I like the line of the pen, but am a bit disappointed in the red stripe in the middle, was hoping for some more mixing.

Next is a Black Titanium Baron, from AS, and from Woodcraft, the Lava blank, I wish there was some more gray in the blank, but I do love the red and orange stripes.

Finally, my first two Sierras/Wall Street IIs
Both in the Gold finish, and using one Sea Foam blank.
The click version is a bit longer than the standard version, but I still had enough blank to do both from one piece.

All the pens were finished with Micro Mesh, up to 12000, started with 150 grit.
All but the Flyers Pens were also finished with the Hut plastic pen polish.

Hope you enjoy them.

They are all eye poppers for different reasons. My preference is the pair of Barons closely followed by the Sierras. Nice weekends work.[][][]

I can see why the Sierras are popular pens, easy to turn, and a snap to assemble, I do think this pen will make a nice addition to my offerings.

The new Woodcraft blanks are very nice to turn, even easier to turn than the older plastic blanks they used to carry.
