Zen dyed and stabilized
got a heap of new blanks last week, couldn't wait to get them on the lathe
Saturday was the day, i like this Zen kit, looks a lot like the Dayacom Components but a magnetic cap instead of threaded

Nice pens I like the blanks
I made one of these kits but I have not posted it yet. I did not like they way looked when all finished. I think the transition between the body and the nib is to abrupt for such a short nib. Apart from the I think it is a good idea with the magnet.
What did you think MIKCheers Rum Pig

Nice
I got one of those kits in the pen swap and love it... not sure if the guy that works in the same office likes it as much though. I find that when I'm distracted or thinking I tend to play with the cap which clicks nicely into place (the caps bounce and make a lot of noise on the desk if you drop them too
)
