Majestic & Majestic Jr.
Hi guys. I love this site. I've been a lurker here for quite a while, so figure it's about time to put something up for review. These are my 2 best pens. The first is a Majestic in Jarra, with just a bit of sapwood in the cap. The second is a Majestic Jr. in Jatoba. The Jr. went to my Mom for Mother's Day.

Hi and welcome Seth
Those pens do look the goods hehe, but I have found that the Majestic is just a bit large for most people ,nice as a collector item though , the junior may be a better size ,not tried one yet .cheers ~John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Thanks guys. The finish is BLO/CA - lots of coats. The Majestic really is a huge pen, @ 6" long and 5/8" wide. In the hand though, it is the best feeling pen I've held. The balance is perfect. I think the Junior is the better looker, and the Senior the better writer.

Nice job, Sefali!
I like a little sapwood in the cap. Adds character. Nicely finished too. I have to agree with you regarding the Majestic. One of my favorite writers and a real bargain at under $30. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

I appreciate the welcome. Ciscokid, I thought the touch of sapwood made the pen. It's not much, but it makes a big statement. It's a shame the size scares people off, but that just makes the kits cheaper for those of us who like them.

Welcome Sefali

I have not seen these kits in person but I'm keen to give them a go.
Dose anyone know who sells them in OZ??Cheers Rum Pig
