A couple of Koa pens on the way to Hawaii

[JerrySambrook]

These are a couple of pens made from Koa I recieved from Kalai a couple of months back. He sent a great box with quite a few koa blanks as well as some others, including some bottle stopper sized blanks and a couple of small bowl blanks.
Thanks Chris
One is a one piece slimline, and the other is on a "KOA" kit from Wood Pen Pro.
Looks like a lot of the items used to make these two pens is going back to where they came from.

Nice pens. What is 2nd pen kit?

A couple of really nice looking pens. The second one looks like a variation of a Sierra.

A question on the Slimline. How does the mechanism work and how do you change refills?? I am guessing that the nib rotates and is also removable.

Craig,
The second one is from WoodPenPro.com It is a Sierra type called "Koa" which means warrior.

JD. You are correct. Only the upper tube is bonded in. The lower tube is free floating and you do twist the tip to make it extend, etc.

A couple nice looking pens. Like the KOA kit details.
The one piece is similar to the PSI Longwood kit, upper part moves, lower tube fixed to nib portion.

Very nice job Jerry!

You are sending those back to Hawaii?? Would there be any room left in that box???? I could do with a little warmer weather.....

Good job, Jerry. The one piece is beautiful. The KOA kit is very nice also.

Hi Jerry, thanks the pens look great. You make real nice pens, I am going to reverse engineer that slimline so I can make one. Aloha.
