There are a couple of guineas that hang around in our yard and shed their feathers all the time. Maybe I should start collecting them. Great pens!!:)

Joe, those feather pens you have been doing have to be some of the best ideas I have seen! My preference is for the colored feathers, but these are striking, as well. Very executive looking - black tie affair type of look.
Exceptional!!

Joe...c'mon...can't you put something up on the board we could be critical about.
I think you know where I'm coming from, right?
Super job, excellent classy appearance. Reminds me a little of carbon fiber if I squint and hold my right hand over my left eye. ;)
I think I might just have to order some of those pen kits...I do like the looks of them.
And again...great photography!!

Gorgeous. Flawless.
I'm now going to quit making pens, or at the very least, I'll quit posting them.:o

Great pens!! Great pics, too!
Guinea Hens are great watchdogs, too... And when you're starving, if you cook them well over a fire, they aren't bad... Yuk!! (free info) :D
I really like that Aero... is that the same as a Sierra??

No, the Aero (known by other vendors as the "Elegant Beauty") is NOT to be confused with the "Elegant Sierra" which looks similar. It is actually quite a bit smaller and requires a different-sized drill bit (23/64 versus 27/64) and bushings. It still uses a Parker-style refill. The refill is extended/retracted by twisting the endcap.
