Thanks All for the kind words! When I put it all together and looked at it, well I think it was like a high! Or maybe it was the lacquer!! SO much fun. I started another slimline with a kind of bulge in the middle of each blank. I think it might look good.
Gary, I gave my first pen to my wife. Several reasons, one because she allowed me to spend the money we don't have, so I could get started. Two, because she said she would love to show it off at work. Three, so I can get approval for more supplies sooner rather than later!! She is the Greatest!!
