The kit is the Dinero from WoodPenPro.com. it is basically a cheaper version of the panache. I like the decoration in the end pieces and the price. The hardware/plating is ok, but definitely not Panache (dayacom) quality. Also the threading for the cap is single start, so you gotta twist forever (I think the panache is triple start, maybe even quad). I'm also a little hesitant about the metal-metal cap threads. But all together I think it's a decent value kit, something a little different.
I'm really happy with how it turned out. I made a thin parting tool from an old steak knife to cut the grooves to inlay the turquoise powder with CA. The break for the cap just so happened to be at a wavy point in the grain, so although the alignment is pretty good it looks off unless you really study it. I might consider doing the same pen with the panache but make customer endcaps using turquoise trustone.
