The acrylics are from Wood n' Whimsies (great stuff by the way...) I really like the acrylics, and how they turn, finish, and look. On these I left the brass tubes unpainted for that "glow" effect. These wall streets are dead simple, and i think they look pretty good.

Anyone have experience with the Sierras? Are they identical, or do they at least assemble in the same way?

Nice pen Patrick! I just turned my first acrylic bottle stopper for my youngest son. Turns nicely. I'll have to try a pen or two.....my wife would love the color options!

Patrick those are beautiful. Don't know if they are the same but I did order some Sierra's yesterday from Ernie at Beartooth. The look pretty slick.

Sierras are the same, just less expensive than what WC charges for the fancier name ;)

Those are some great looking pens. I really like the wall street pen kit's finished look.

They are not all the same. Some from Airizona Siloette are larger. Just double check before buying.

The larger ones are Sierra Vistas

True, I had forgotten that. But they LOOK the same. Easy to mess up if your not careful.

Your pens look great. I just bought two of the same kits to make pens for two doctors that did Prostrate surgery on me last week. I have made them before and I think that they are one of the best looking pen sets that are made. I have some nice burl picked out to make mine out of and I will try to get some pic's of them and post them when they are finished.

great work
