This is a Gold Rockler Spirit pen. The blanks are tapered hexagons in Marble Wood. The kit has been modified in several ways. There are no tubes used in it's making. End caps have been reversed in size to make it more streamlined and the lower section made longer and wider at the base. There was also no lathe used to make the blanks only the 4 pieces shown in the photo plus a drill press, disk, and belt sander. Finish is sanded to 1200 grit after apply 8 coats of thick CA and than polishing with One-Step Plastic Polish. The 4 pieces shown are a 3/8" nut and bolt, plus 2 hexagon templates made from a cutting board and drilled and sanded to the size I wanted. I left the corners proud so it looked like it was sitting on a gold base. This will be my new desk pen of the month. Praise me if you can, blast me if you must !! Jim S
