Joe,

Those are stunning! Simply stunning!

[Karl Card]

hopefully the birds gave up the feathers peacefully...lol


very nice pens however.

[John Hart]

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!!:)

[John Keeton]

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!!

[Baxter Smith]

Classy looking pens!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! Outstanding work! Great photos as well!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is one classy and beautiful pen Joe.

[David E Keller]

Gorgeous. Flawless.

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

[Allen Neighbors]

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.
