Very nice rollerball. And I agree that the photography is very well lit and composed.
Thumbs up on a job well done! :good:

Not sure by the pic, but you sure make that pen look nice. So much so that I never realized how such a bulky pen could look elegant.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm pretty happy with the pen, and the customer is super happy with it. As far as the photography is concern if I can assist anyone it will be my pleasure, photography is my other hobby.
The kit and blank were purchased from CSUSA about four years ago. I stopped turning pens for just about four years and now I have about some 120 or so kits that waited for me to come back into turning.
The Havana line is not for sale with CSUSA any longer. This was around a $15 kit and it is by far a favorite of mine. I wonder why they stop selling them? The fountain version of it has a problem with the nib holder's anamel paint wearing off soon and exposing the the brass underneath.
The blank is a black pr from CSUSA.

Looks like with all the years that went by, you didn't loose your touch on finishing a blank! Black is probably one, if not the hardest, color to finish and finsh correctly. I absolutely hate to do black, cause I'm so picky about the finish.....you might have given me the 'want to' to do it one more time.
Bet that kit would cost about $50+ in todays market....prices don't seem to be under control with the vendors on kits anymore(they're all wanting a bigger piece of the pie). Too cool you kept them all this time, and then turned it into a treasure!!!

Amazing work. Nicely done! Wish that kit was around today cause I'd love to give it a go. Wife would love one of those on her desk (she claims one of almost every new design I try)
