Those look really good Glen, I have never done a pen before it just looks to tedious to me, besides it takes to much wood:D Thats my reason and I'm sticking to it. Beautiful job

The wasp look normally doesn't appeal to me, but with that kit, it really looks good!!! Nice looking pens Glenn!:)

Nice looking pens. What kind of wood did you use?

Nicely done. Is that a slimline kit??? What woods did you use and what is the finish on them???

The top one is Bloodwood and bottom is Snake wood. I did a friction polish over danish natural oil 34 coats of each and prior to that sanded to a grit of 2000. They will be engraved and will post pics of that afterwards. Thanks for the great comments guys and gals.

Seriously, these pens demonstrate your quality workmanship and dedication. Great job.

Nice looking pens Glenn.

Those look like slimline kits, so I'm wondering something. I usually just wonder around, but this time I actually have a thought.:eek: With the size of the wood, it seems like it would put a lot of extra pressure outward on the clips. With that, it seems like the extra amount of pressure getting it clipped on a pocket would break it soon. Just a thought.:o
