These 3 Paprizio pens kits were given to me by Brian when I started up again I haven't turned any of these kits in a long time they were a favourite with the woman mainly in acrylic they are a handy kit because they only need 3" of material to make them they are from left to right Columbian Rosewood, Staghorn wood and Purpleheart they all have a polish finish If anyone is interested in these kits Jim sells them at pen crafts from £7.93 each expensive unless I can find them cheaper I wont be doing anymore Patrizio Pen Kit

Cor blimey dad if I had known they were in there you wouldn't have got them. (that'll learn me to look init?) :vangry::vangry::vangry:

I used to love them kits, they made a smashing one piece without that silly girdle on and they flew of the shelf.
Bloody sure I wouldn't have paid that price for em either.
You done em proud though so you can keep em with my blessing. :love_it::love_it::love_it::pray:

Lovely turning and finishing of some lovely wood as normal, but I think the kit with that centre band is Marmite and at that price.... well I don't like Marmite.

I just had a look and Pencrafts do them for £5.75... which is still too much in my mind

Lovely work Woody, though I'll admit I'm unsure about the kit but they probably look as different again in the flesh :thumbs::thumbs:

I don't no Injun giver dad, lovely to see you made em instead of stuck in my drawer cos I never would have looked in there when I lost heart in making kits.
George and Charlotte were always poking about in there so I expected all the best bits to be gone anyway.
Glad you found some bits of use init?

Anything that's a gift has my vote anytime. You have done a great job of them Granddad. Usual high standard and one for us to reach out for.

Nice to see the forum coming together and supporting each other again.

Never seem this kit before, and I must say I rather like it. But I do think it's a pricey devil. Lovely work on these sir!!

Hi Angelo that converts from $5.75 to £4.14 a lot cheaper the only trouble is we will get hit with heavy postage and import duty from the US but thanks for the link

You need an air line pilot that fly's to and from the state for most of the time except when you need him :rolling:
