I posted the above Artemis Desert Ironwood. I added the picture to. the post but could not enter any text. No text box was available.
Anyway - this is my 4th Artemis kit and I really like them. Going figure out how to add a clip in the near future. On the barrel I used epoxy but found when it dried that it had sealed the end of the insert not allowing the spring or refill to be inserted. I ended up "carefully" step drilling to clean it out. When using epoxy make sure it doesn't build up and cover the end when you insert the brass!
Finished with 8 Coats of CA.

Great looking pen, Keith, and the timber is something special.

Sensational use of beautiful timber.

Very nice. I have some Artemis kits I am waiting to use on a hybrid blank I am working on. I have been tossing around the idea of going with a roll stop vs. a clip. I am anxious to see what you do for a clip.

you don't need to add a clip in my opinion, its very elegant like this. nice work

I'm stoked to see that these kits are really taking off! The bullseye kits are great!
Wonderful looking pen!
I'm with Rick… Desert Ironwood is one of my most favorites too.

Great work!

Not a easy kit to get alignment of the timber, super great job. Oustanding pen.
