On the money John !! Bruce does make some very awesome blanks, they very hard though. Bought my self one of the Pen Pro's to accommodate them Originally Posted by gawdelpus

as they are not transparent like some others.
Cheers

Nice work and beautiful blanks. shame to waste them on a Sierra. Would love to have seen those beautiful colours married to something that would have shown more of the blank and not so much of the kit section of the sierra.
I think those blanks deserved something better than the sierra kit. Please don't think I am knocking your work, it is superb and for that reason I made the comments above. Your quality of workmanship and those blanks deserved something better. I love the letter openers.. Excellent work. My pick of the Sierra's would be pic #1
Reality is no background music.
Cheers John
