    Default Wedding set

    Hi everyone.

    Here is a bride and groom acrylic fountain Baron pen kit I made. It is the (fancy) titanium ones rather than the gold plated ones so they last longer.

    Hope someone ends up liking them - turns out I didn't get them ready for their intended recipients' wedding - my first white attempt decided to explode on me.

    Sorry bout the poor quality of the final picture. Very low light, but you get the idea.

    Simon.

    They look great Simon. Nothing like black and white together.

    I know the feeling about not getting pens ready on time. Just lost a good sale on a leather plaited Sierra because I didn't check my email regularly enough.

    His and hers fountains....very elegant! The upgraded hardware will probably go un-noticed to them, but not to us!! Great choice!!!

    My personal nemesis is a black blank....I never seem satisfied that the micro-scratches are all gone. Just when I think I got to them to 'my standards', I take the blank outside in the sun and out come the 'not-so-nice-words' get blasted through the neighborhood. White is something just the same(at least for me).

    I am still shipping Internationally for now.

    Hey undies. Yes I bought it in person at timberbits cos I live not too far from his shop in Sydney. I recommend you call him because they aren't listed on his website, but definitely worth a phone call because they are crazy cheap - $5 per box for the red ones !!!
