"mini LOML" (my daughter, amanda) picked out this piece of acrylic, so this pencil - complete with matching green colored lead - is hers.

GO STEELERS!

Some beautiful work there Jeffrey. I would say the black and gold is my favorite but being a Patriots fan I just can't do it.:D

Great looking pens Jeffrey. I really like the look of the amboyna burl.

Any special reason for 8 coats of CA on the cigar pen? Normally hear about 3-4 coats so was just wondering.

[Rich Stewart]

Very nice looking pens there. Where do you get your artists sketch pencil? I got a couple from Penn state but they have a different top. I like yours better.

[Paul Heely]

The artist sketch looks like the same kit I've been using and I get mine from CSUSA.
