Mack,
Those are really great looking pens. Where did you get the Christian fish style Sierra kits?

Hi Cris; http://www.woodpenpro.com/pen_kits/0023_pacifica_fish_10k_gold.html I got the 10K Gold ones but further down he shows some Ti ones. That's what I intend ordering next.

Mack; Sorry; I must be blind..... I paged thru his site, but don't see the TI "Fisher of Men" style pens anywhere. I prefer to only make the TI or better platings if they are available. I have some of these in my build box now, but they are the 10K Gold and Two-tone styles.

I didn't see the straight Ti Gold either but I found these.

Hi Randy; So sorry; it's been a while since I was on the site and I assumed the more expensive ones were Ti, although he does show 2Tone Chr. & Bk Ti.

Mack,
Thanks for the heads up. I have just started making that style of pen and like the possiilities.

The Tri of fish are a variety of the Sierra Pen. The center band was changed to give it a different look. Manufacturer is from Berea Hardwoods. suppliers are AZ, Bear Tooth, Woodpenpro. Woodpenpro is the only supplier that has the fish center band. to my knowledge.

Also from the same style is the elegant Beauty. Both Berea and Daycom make this variety with sucha slight difference.

Enjoy

The two tone is the black Ti. It is a nice kit.

BTW Nice trio of pens.

Hi avbill; that's correct. I only wish it came in a click version rather than the twist.

Woodpenpro is the only supplier that has the fish center band. to my knowledge.

A friend of mine put me on to the kit. He wasn't able to find any other Fishers.

WOW! Those are super.

Very nice work Mack, I think Jimmy from WoodpenPro has the Tapa designs tied up, but they are nice looking pens, and his prices are in line,

Nice, I don't normally like pens that show as much or more metal/kit than wood but those look really great!

 

[Ligget]

Lovely trio of pens, I like the shape you gave the barrels!

Lovely trio of pens, I like the shape you gave the barrels!

Thanks Mark; I turn the barrels down to 9/16", approx. 14 mm, and then tie in to the clip and nib end from that point. Some like it, some don't!
