Like the Pen especially the Hairy Oak as well one of my all time favourites.

I have recently given three of these Kit pens to others with very favourable comments.

The next one goes to a mate in America next week or so, all I have cut the timber in Hex shape. Your pen has strength using deep coloured H.Oak. Well done.

A nice strong looking kit hehe,shows off the wood or acrylic ,has a different click mechanism than most other kits ,none in gold finish ,so probably longer lasting finishes , easy to make and quite sleek ,nice all round ,you can get these from PSI resellers as well ,normally a bit cheaper for postage hehe, Nice job on this one needs stable wood to be used as very little "meat" when finished, and even less if you do them as hex pens as Peter and I have ,my ebony developed fine cracks ,still to be repaired ,well done for this one though ,cheers~ John

i tried to find a psi reseller that had them and came up empty , and yep the postage from them was a bit of a killer , but i indulged anyway .
i bought 10 kits , 1 set of bushings , and 4 acrylic blanks and the postage was 36 buckeroos bit steep i thought .
i have just ordered a few different kits from beartooth ( not as many though ) and some timber blanks , and their postage is only 14 dollars

Nice pen
like the kit

I've found with some of the US sellers you have to engage with then on postage

I've just ordered a DVD $27 postage 34 and 8.50 gives a whole cost of over $60
there's a prepaid satchel for $14 what gives

If you have swap pens etc in the USA organise with them by sending money to them to make the purchase and forward on to you, now sometimes there are State Taxes much like GST get in under as well.

Have success Peter.

Nice pen Texx, I like the timber in that one. From memory 043 Turning has those kits I am sure Mark will chip in if he sees this but he is a little busy this weekend.

Flat rate USPS is the way to go to us from the states but some businesses over there will not use it, I have asked on several occasions and they have not liked it but have sent it at the cheaper rate. I have never lost anything either.

Good one Texx

I bought quite a few when they got them in a while back. I also got a heap of other things to fill the box and make the postage worth while My own preference for the kit is the hex finished style but you need the equipment to do it. My Beale is still sitting in the box

Like that one Texx. Great looking kit and a great blank!!
