First el Grande.

[dubdrvrkev]

This is my first one of these and I have to admit I like the kit. Sure there's a little plastic, but it works for me.
This is Chechen burl (from Dario) and (as always) the pic doesn't do this one justice. It is a nice blank that I just happened to make round enough to work as a pen.

Feel free to comment as you like.

That looks really sharp Kevin. I like the chrome kit on the blank.

Very sharp Kevin. I carry one daily, and they get a lot of attention, despite the "plastic" look.

I like it Kevin. Nice pen!

I might give El Grande another try. The part that turned me off was the tranny that broke.

Just dawned on me mine was the twist El Grande []...I ned to make some RB then.

Looks like you did a great job and you can't get any better than the burl.

Good looking Kevin, fine piece of wood.
Just don't like the trim rings on the El Grande.

I am getting jealous of all of these good looking pens. I have yet to make an El Grande, but when I do, It will hopefully look something like this!

Thanks everyone.
Anthony, I actually like the trim rings that come on the el Grande streamline a little better, but these kits were on sale [].
