Well had a order for several pens so decided today to give it a go. These are Wallstreet II which I really like. Never have had a problem. Anyway the top one is Titanium/Platinum. The next two are Elegant Wallstreet II Titanium/Gold with the upper one being stablized Birds Eye Maple burl and the next one down is Big Leaf Maple Burl. The bottom two are Wallstreet II Titanium/Gold one being stablized Birds Eye Maple Burl and Big Leaf Maple Burl. All the blanks are stablized. I had 5 pens already done up so he took those plus the 2 Holy Land Olive wood pens with certificates. I know forgot pic's. One he wanted for himself and one for his pastor. All in all he wanted 12 pens. So I will mail these 5 out Monday. He didn't say a word when I told him I couldn't take less than $58 each. He sat down and wrote the check. He was extremely happy.

Bernie, those are some really nice pens. I started making those a few months ago and really like the weight and design of them. Good quality and fun to make.

WC Wall Streets, Sierras, PSI Gatsby's all are great easy pens to make. They have a nice heft to them, come in almost any combination of metals, both twist and click mechanisms and like was mentioned can be ball point, lead, gell or roller ball. It's one that is hard to go wrong with.

Super Job on those. I turned my first wall street not lang ago as a gift and was impressed by the quaility.

Thanks everyone. I do like making the Wallstreet or Sierra pens. I have never had a problem with one of these. I have did well over 100 of them. These are by far and away my best seller.

Those are some very nice pens Bernie! And a nice chunk of change for the turning tool fund!

do you stabilize them yourself or send them out? I just sent a couple of white oak burl pen blanks to River Ridge to see what the end product looks like, more out of curiosity than anything.

Thanks again. Rob these were already stablized from CSUSA. Really nice when finished but found out you have to be careful with the blanks as they can be quite chippy. The first blank I did chipped out on me all the way to the brass so started over. Can't afford to do that to many times. Got another request this morning for 4 Holy Land Olive wood pens.
