Really like the puzzle pen, I'm wondering though, how did you get the exact same grain in the two Sierras?

The puzzle, flag and grand piano are listed under New Products in the CSU catalog I received today. They are available for the Jr Gent, Gentleman's, Jr Statesman and Statesman kits.

Lou, That's a great looking puzzle pen. The few I've done, for some reason always turn out darker than that! I'm not even gonna comment on those beautiful snakewoods ........you show off!

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Lou, great look on the puzzle pen but those snakes WOW!
Reminded me to look at my snakwood pen I made last month still no cracks...

 

[1JaredSchmidt]

Thanks, Tom!. Count on it, William! Bill, the two Sierra's were made from the same blank. Go figure! Jared - Yes, this is a Ligero fountain pen with an 18k nib. Mick - These puzzles are cut by Ken but the wood selection is my own, selected to give a stong mix of contrasts in shade, color and grain. Thank you all for the kind comments.

We saw these and they are more awesome in person! And the very scary part is these are not Lou's best work.

Wow!!! simply amazing!! I really like those puzzle pens, and the snakewood too!! I'd like to try doing a snakewood pen, but after reading so many horror stories here, I'm a bit afraid to make the leap!! Nonetheless, these pens are fantastic!!

I think that Bill was trying to point out that the two sierras have exactly the same grain. Sort of like you might have accidently posted two pictures of the same pen.
