    Default Quad

    of my favorite pens in Red Oak Burl.
    The Sedona and Virage are from the middle of the burl, the Navigator and Sierra from the edge, with some spalting.

    The Seirra EB because it has smooth lines, you have to work to screw it up!
    The Virage because although I dont personaly like the pen, it sells a lot, ladies seem to pick it over the EB, men pick the EB over the Virage.
    Both the Sedona and the Navigator are simple, clean screw cap pens, not a lot of bling, but just classy enough to sell well for a little bt more.
    The Navigator lends itself to TrueStone quite well, it sells to men and woman almost equally as well, and just plain looks good in almost any material.
    But the Sierra Elegant, or WallStreet II Elegant as it is sold here, is my favorite, it fits the mens shirt pocket well, writes great with a gel cartridge, and ladies like it to.

    By the way, it was a big burl!

    At a guess, 20 linear feet of 3/4" square blank material, some solid, most with voids, which are easily filled with sanding dust and thin CA.

    WoodCraft...I think it is a Daycom kit.
    Search for Woodworking Supplies at Woodcraft.com
    Shiny and Satin copper finish.
    Same bushing and tubes as the Navigator, just different hardware.

    Thanks for that Ed I often wonder why people prefer a particular kit
