Fist of all I thought it might be a Burrerfly but its another new Kit for me. I found these good fun to make once I sorted out why Five Bushings. That done and having remade the body of the one pen due to not reading the instructions but who does.
Any way I am quite pleased with results I like the Filigree effect and it allows you to choose a wood for a contrast. The Gold one is Turkish Walnut the Siver Bocote and Yew this is the one I had to remake the body.
Hope you like them please feel free to comment.

Very nice! They all look lovely. I haven't seen any European filigree kits on this side of the pond in years. I used to enjoy making them.

They are a nice kit to make a Ladies Pen I think. I got these from Penkitz and Bitz here in the UK. Thanks for your comments.

Nice looking pens, Michael.
Does the yew have a wee crack at the nib end?

Alan
Just taken a look at the Pen no crack but it does look it on the Photo. Less Carrots for you my boy and more Bushmills.
Thanks for your comments Alan

My pleasure I came across it by accident. I also think the kit doesn't take over the the overall appearance of the finished Pen. It leaves options on choice of wood and requires a certain amount of skill in turning. It may look good with Acrylic but not for me.

Thank you for your comments Mal.

Very nice. I agree with Mark. Excellent choice in the blanks to go with the components.
