The acrylic acetate from Berea in emerald green with titanium gold HW looks extremely stunning. But the finial problem is real and not a photo effect... |

I've been thinking about a rattle-snake skin pen ever since I saw Jay post one... but using a large tube. I did not make the blank, I got it from Dave Baldwin |
Same pen, closed |
