Just finished this one about a hour ago, I think its my best yet and will probably be the first one of these I will attempt to sell, if I can decide on a price.

The pictures are terible and don't do it justice, the colors of the thread and feathers are very bright. I really need to get my photo tent set back up instead of shooting with just a 50 light watt bulb.


The kit is the Wallstreet II with Jungle Cock and Golden Pheasant feathers, blue, green and gold thread and gold tinsel.

BTW I am almost finished with the tutorial for casting feathers and hopefully will have it posted later today, just waiting for the blank to cure.

Comments/Critiques always appreciated.

Happy Turnings,

Good luck putting a price on that.

Man, these pens combine two of my favorite things in life..fly fishing and turning. They're just plain incredible!
