Hi, I am looking for a 3/8 tubed kit. I came across some flowered blanks but can't find a kit I like.
Ideas appreciated.

If you download the IAP bushings and Tubes app on your phone and search 3/8, you will get a large list of pen kits that utilize a 3/8 tube. It is a very useful app in other ways as well. It has useful data and instructions for most pen kits out there.

I like the SPW LeRoi v2 from Exotic Blanks. (SPW = Smitty's Pen Works, some old-timers will remember the late Leroy Smith, Ed and Dawn at Exotics bought his product lines when he retired.)
The LeRoi v2 is basically the same as the Gatsby (similar to Sierra and Mesa) but drilled with a 3/8" bit instead of 27/64".

The majestic squire is another nice looking pen and leaves a thick blank when finished which is great for cast objects in blanks. https://exoticblanks.com/products/majestic-squire-twist-pen-kits?_pos=3&_sid=267c59f12&_ss=r

I like that one too, John. Just recently somebody asked for help to id a pen that I thought was a Majestic Squire, but KenB said it was the Regal from ClassicNib (I think he was right). Very similar, but without the crystal in the clip, I plan to try a couple. They might appeal to folk who don't go for the bling factor.

Wow, there are sooooo many. Are you talking about pre-tubed cast blanks with flowers in them? As in, you are getting them in a specific length? The Rollester suggestion is great for showing off a longer blank. It's a pretty unassuming kit. My rule of thumb is that I don't want really fancy hardware distracting from a really nice blank. I don't think the PSI Executive gets enough love around here. It would work great, too.
