Best pen to show off wood

[neon007]

What does everyone think the best pen kit to show of a piece of wood is. Just regular kits though. $10 and under.

I think that a fatter pen that has more wood on it like a Jr. Gentleman would be better then say a slim line. But the Carbara uses one solid piece so there isn't a center band to detract away from the wood. Hope that makes sense.

The cigar pen is a good choice - lots of wood with little in the way.

I vote for the Cigar. Lots of wood showing

I vote for a Sierra it is a great beginner pen, and has a solid one piece wood section.

RussLine slimline -- about $1.75 for the kit.

I lean toward the PSI Superslim - good long body structure with a relatively narrow centerband and a not-too-distracting clip. Besides, once assembled, the body sections don't "twist apart" so the grain stays lined-up.

just my 2-cents...

Either a Cigar or a Perfect Fit.

The big Gent (as well as Statesman) are good, big kits that show off wood more so than ornate metalwork like the Emperor. If I have some razzmatazz wood to show off, I usually make a closed-end Gent with a carefully considered plating color.

I hadn't answered this yet because I guess I don't have a favorite for showing off the wood. As others have said, big shows more. My favorite<b>S</b> (plural) for showing off wood? Jr. Gent II; Gent; Cigar.
