Lupe, Both look great! My favorite is the HRB. I wish you had a close up pic. The wood looks out of this world beautiful! Cool casting with the mesquite. Regards, Doc

I like the HRB the best, great looking pen.

Lupe, as always, your pens look phenomenal! I love that finish too!

That mesquite pen is incredible!

A couple nice looking pens. I have yet to do that click. The HRB is for sure my favorite of the two. Nice job!

They are both very nice pens, but I'm leaning towards the mesquite.
I wish I have mesquite in my back yard? How about I trade you some good old pine :biggrin: from my backyard for some of you backyard mesquite. Nice job on both.

Thanks guys, john does have some pretty HRB that sells before its turned. I sold her a "blank" . Just had to put it on a kit, she didnt care what kind of kit so I used a lau lau click kit.

The mesquite was my daily writer that she wrote her address down( It had an Exoticblank upgraded refill )and she had to have it. :biggrin:

These IAP vendors are the best and make it easy to peddle your wares you just have to put it in the potential customers hands....

I like both pens a lot but I am really loving the Honduran Rosewood. How does the clicker pen hold up and feel? It really looks good and would like to make a few if it is a good kit.

Brian,
Its my Favorite. its a good canvas to showcase a beautiful timber. Lau Lau has them in the upgraded plating at a very resonable cost. The click is a little light but you can stretch the spring(make sure to dab a little red loctite on assembly) to give it more resistance. With an urgraded refill that I got from Exoticblanks, easy sell :wink:

A favorite of my customers.

NICE!!

+1 on the Honduran Rosewood burl comments - that stuff is another of my absolute favourite woods. Spectacular contrast in the figures. The resin impregnated wood is quite cool too. I am a fan of the mixed wood/resin pens.
