DIY Handy Canarywood

[qquake]

This is a cheap $1 Chinese pen called DIY Handy. My friend Dennis ordered several for each of us. The mechanism is very cheap in that you screw it in to extend the refill, then unscrew it. Technically a twist pen, but the cheapest I've ever heard of or made. And the clip is loose, even though I tried to bend it to make it tighter. The good news is the canarywood is very pretty, much more grain than canarywood I've turned in the past. I'm not sure the kit is worth even a dollar. The finish is Pens Plus.

On the plus side, the "mechanism" should be reliable.

The pen confirms my piece of wood as canary wood. Finish looks good. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
