Thread: Emperor RB FP Black Titanium

Hi, that emperors pen looks great.
....
I have a question...it is out of subject somehow, but probably somebody can help me out. I need pen kits in a large amount for a cheaper price than what it is usually found for wood turners. Somebody got an answer for me?? a place I should look into.?? Thanks in advance!

Nice work again Darley56 - well done! you say the wood is grey ironbark burl - I've not seen that sort of colouration in grey ironbark before - burl or heartwood - was it local to where you are?

Well I buy all my kits from the States, only the SL ( slimline ) I buy from GPW here in QLD Australia but you live in Chile your best bet is

hope this help

I am going to look at this sites right now. Thank you for your help....
I will let you know if it works out.

Was on BB web site last night and with receiving a confirmation email, unfortunately Bill and Kathy do not ship overseas any more due to the red tape and paperwork involved and the higher freight costs. He said that if you have friend or relatives in the States, get them to order and it is easier to send that way.

Hi there if I were to supply you with a quality EBONY blank and nib how much would you charge me to make one of these. Bryan/ adelaide

Like that a lot Drley.

Can I suggest less of the distracting background stuff in your pics?

That's a very nice looking Emperor. What did you use for a finish?

Great bunch of pens

Welcome back Darley.

Nice pen and I like what you have done with the background. The TI is not a s bold as the gold emperor but I think they are better looking pens especial with the right blank

One should look at the date before posting.

Hello Darley, welcome back, well done on the Emperor, would like to know what finish you used. Very difficult to judge whether a gold kit would have been better with that wood??? Be good to be able to compare one of each side by side. Amos
