Flight of the Phoenix

[rkimery]

With the all new kit "The Phoenix" from Woodturningz, http://www.woodturningz.com/Phoenix_Pen_Kits.aspx, and X-Cut Tulipwood recently purchased from jimm1 here's a pen I made up this morning. I am impressed by the quality of the kit from Woodturningz, it's heavier than the Sierra and a bit longer. The wood received from Jim was far better than the pictures shown.

Sorry about my photography. My really good 10 mega-pixel camera recently took a bath and I am searching for another.

Tell me what you think.

Thanx!

That is really a "different" looking kit. Nice work on the pen. Beautiful wood and you did a great job on the fit and finish. The jury is still out on the kit.... I think I'm liking it. I'd like to see it in some different finishes. Like gun metal.

You did an awesome job! That wood looks amazing. Your fit and finish look great as well.

I think you're right, it would make it a bit sexier.

beautiful pen. I just found the mesa pen kits from woodturningz at mann tool in Columbia, SC. I am currently doing one in purpleheart with a canarywood wedge and a black wood pen and a canary wood wedge.

Nice looking pen! Your wood selection looks great on that pen. I've just received an email from one of the woodstores with that pen being advertised. I think after seeing yours, I do want to order a few of them.
