Nice job Gary. This pen kit is kinda growing on me. I really like your choice of blanks and the pen turned out great.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Nice pen.
The background is distracting from the focus on your great pen.

Gary, that's a beautiful blank, and your pen looks great but I'm still not sure about the kit, maybe on my next order, I'll try a couple.[8D][8D]

Yup I made the short ones---you just about have to repost the cap or it's to short to write with---I had two of the kits---they have both sold.
I am so far behind they may have to wait till next year.

That blank is awesome indeed. Makes me instantly think of the Ocean. I'm not sold on it with that kit either, but you did a heck of a job making it!

Nice work. The "zen" is a very good pen.
While I think the kit could use some "refinement" I think it's a great kit. I have two that I'm using myself and I thoroughly enjoy them, the magnet is great.
Lots of folks don't like the kit b/c of the way the writing tip looks, it looks uncomfortable, but in reality you can't grip that part to write with anyhow, you grip the wood/pr part just above the tip and it feels good in the hand, about the thickness of a sharpie but with a good pen weight.
