Alan: I made three of these as awards to the recent "Paint the Lake Plein Art" contest. I know what they cost, especially if you dress them up for awards. They are not cheap. My hat is off to you.
For some reason they are becoming popular again. I may do 5 a year of these. Just this month I did 20 of them. The retail price on these are just like some of my ball points but they are selling right now. Gary as usual did a great job on the carbon fiber.
