twin spalted hackberry

[guts]

I have these blanks that are matched up almost perfect all the way around,now I'm looking for a pen and pencil set that is about the same length for a nice looking set I think,really like the sierra but they are way to different in the length,don't care for the polaris-atlas.so I guess I'm down to the Jr, Gent but I think a Black finish would work better with the spalt,any ideas? Thanks.

I would use a Black Ti finish. Should look real good with your blanks.

You can modify a sierra pen to be a pencil. then they would be identical.

Stan,you must be reading my mind,only problem is how do I make the modifaction,seems like I would have to add something to the inside of the pencil that would let the clicker to work right?

Try this http://content.penturners.org/video/sierra-pencil-tutorial.wmv

I have used it several times and it works great.

Another option would be the the click pen and pencil that CUSA sells.

The click pencil body is about 1/4 inch longer than the pen and the pencil nib is shorter and stubbier.

IMHO, the Jr Gent ballpoint and pencil make a real classy set
