It's 50 degrees in the garage today! The Accord kit was a Christmas gift, and the wood is beeswing narra. The other is a Desire fountain pen and is my first fountain pen - I think that makes it mine. I tried to backpaint the acrylic blank, but i don't think the paint stuck to the acrylic well, you can see through to the tube in places. Other than that, i'm happy with both. C&C welcome.
