Kit----Black Ti Click

WOW! Those look awesome.

Without the CA---You would be looking at a pile of saw dust and the parts.
This stuff is softer than Buckeye burl.

Gary: That is a very nice looking pair of pens. Looks and sounds like you had to have a lot of patience as well as ca to finish those out, but they sure look like they were worth it. Where did you get the blanks if I might ask? Fred.

Great looking pens Gary,I really like the look of spalted wood.

 

[Gary Max]

Some guy from Texas dropped them off here---to make the story even better--they found the wood on the side of the road. I had to figure out what in the heck it was.

 

[OldWrangler]

Very nice work and excellent wood.

Cant go wrong with spalt. Very nice!

Really nice, Gary, and a perfect match to those kits. I almost bought a few the other night whilst placing a CSUSA order. Do you like them? I like the way they show the wood off in particular.

Where's your show? Man, you're a road warrior...

That is wild, gorgeous.

Super nice looking pens. Congrats on the find!

Do I like the Click?-----I do this to make money----Can I say that here ---
This pen offers one thing that sells---it's a one handed pen. Fast --easy-- and displays the wood well.
So far I have had one that failed, and it was broke in the package.

Sweet pens Gary, I'll bet that much spalting did give you a fit. but it looks like the end result was well worth it.
