Couple of DIs

[Kaspar]

I think I've come to the conclusion the Imperial is the best looking kit out there.

 

[kennicka]

Holy Cow! That is some beautiful desert ironwood. Beatiful pen! Well done.

Eric - That picture is just too "Photoshopped" for me. It's lost any feeling of reality in the wood.

 

[Mikey]

If it looks anywhere close to that in reality, that is about the best DI job I have seen.[8D]

 

[Stevej72]

Hey Kaspar that is awesome work!

I only adjusted the metal parts. But it is scanned, and I think that accounts for it.

I truly do need to get a digital camera soon. However, the recent ice storm -man we got slammed- put me behind a bit and so it'll be a while yet.

Very nice,the combination
looks great.Classy.
Glad to see you back around btw.[]

 

[lwalden]

Knock down, drag out gorgeous. I'd trade my left...... uh, glove, my left glove, for a couple of pieces of DI that nice....[}]

 

[Marc Phillips]

Stunning... absolutely stunning...

What a great job indeed... congrats!!

 

[BRobbins629]

Very nice indeed - care to share your flawless finishing technique?

Gorgeous absolutely gorgeous. I aspire to this level of achievement.

I'm relatively new to pen turning as a saw dust creator and still learning a lot from all of you. So I just have to ask. Where do you find the Imperial kits?

OK I think my Google Skills are intact - CSUSA Kit

Thanks in advance

Sweet! Very very sweet!

Looks like that flame is jumping right out of it.

 

[Tanner]

The pen kit looks good, but the wood and your craftsmanship is what has made that a truely beautiful pen.

Same as everybody else's. CA. I use Berea's Triple Distilled Thin, and Grizzly's Maxi Cure Thick. Micromesh, and then Novus Two, Ultra Gloss, and Renaissance wax.


Imperial kits come from CSUSA. They are pricy.

Shoot Lyle, I'd trade both of your...... uh, gloves for a couple of pieces of that DI!! []

 

[JDPens]

DITTO!! That is one fantastic pen!

 

[Kaspar]

Two actually. The closed one is a rollerball.

I agree...but he got what he wanted I guess []

 

[wudnhed]

Your right, that is a beautiful kit but I think your craftsmanship makes it all the more desirable.

 

[bnoles]

AWESOME

 

[woodpens]

One word... Damn! Can I say that?

Seriously, those pens will sell themselves. How much do you plan on asking for them?

 

[lostlugnut]

You may have just gotten me in trouble. I woke the wife When I said WOW and she came to see what I was up to. All she said was "WOW I want that one." I need to work on my skills.

 

[stevers]

Incredible finish, just gorgeous!!!

 

[GaryMGg]

Someone call 911 -- my heart stopped! That's killer.

Bill, I'd trade Lyle's and yours for those pens. [}]

[LostintheWoods]

Betcha ya could pick up chicks, with one of those pens around! Those are beautiful!!!!

Already sold.

 

[Roy99664]

Beautiful pens! [8D]

 

[Radman]

Not crazy at all about that kit, but that's got to be one of the nicest chunk of fiber I've seen in quite some time!
Terrrrific.

[eldee]

Very nice work. Beautiful!

I finished my first DI last night. The finish is decent, but the wood had some harsh defects. I started with my "easy" wood finish, but had to strip it and go to CA and the buffer. I'll do another, cleaner blank soon.

[justdawn]

The grain in that pen is simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[broitblat]

Spectacular figure in the wood and great work on the pen!

I'm looking in to that. Anyone interested in a small group buy?

I paid over $50 for the original three, but all sold no problem.

 

[BigRob777]

Excuse me while I clean up my drool. Awesome!!!!! It looks like you can see clear through to China, as I used to say as a kid, sort of.

[Hiram33]

The most awesome pen I have every seen

If what you can get will be equivalant to how the pictures you took look (obviously not referring to your finish, but the quality of the material itself), I'm interested. Premium blanks + Premium kits = Premium price.
