Pics don't do it justice as I took them a bit too late this arvo, and the sun was too dull. Roman Harvest in Rhodium with Gold Titanium Accents Fountain Pen + Carbon Fiber tubes from Timberbits.

hey greg
yeah i could call it cheating but if someone buys it just rember that its all profit as it took less than a minute to make

Gee Pariss I thought you were going to complain about the carbon tax. Have done a couple of them and they look good. Easy way to make a pen.

nice polish

Not for me Pariss. While they look like very lovely pens, where is the sense of accomplishment that comes from putting your own touch to a blank.

Yeah, I know Greg, I didn't know that they were totally pre-finished. Might send this one to Ms Gillard

Don't forget to add the carbon tax

Only one thing for it then, you are just going to have to get into casting and make your own. You might have to retire to find time and then find part time work to pay for it all though.

Oh yeah, beautiful pen by the way

Here's a better pic of the pen. Yep Des (Seriola), retirement is fast approaching. Now, gonna have to get a caravan that has, instead of a pull-out BBQ on the side, a pull-out Lathe & work bench.

Nice work Pariss ,these kits of david scrub up well and seem to take anything you can throw at them hehe, cheers ~ John
