    A few new pens from yesterday *PICS*

    Since Julie is bugging me to post more pen pics ...Here is one, and some links to individual pics of each. L-R: angle-cut canarywood w/ black ash burl and crushed turquoise, not sure of the wood, but crushed turquoise in a punky area that chunked out, Bethlehem olive wood, and spalted maple

    Chris,

    Those pens are beautiful-
    What kits did you use? And.. What about the pen grip in front of the nib? I really
    like the touch. Are they plastic/rubber material and part of the kit or were they
    turned?

    Thanks and good work!

    Thanks Aaron. The kits are CUSA comfort grips. The grip is rubber and is slid onto the tube after parting off the wood. Easy to build, and comfortable. Not my favorite style, but makes a nice pen.
