Beg Borrow Steal..in gunmetal

[Twister]

I begged Dan to have a look at the Omega
I got a sample
I am sure that it was an opportunity to let a novice have a go and get some feedback...correct me if I am wrong Dan
I really appreciated this gesture
I kept this quiet as up until now, even though I have been "gagging" to post this
PLEASE NOTE..it is a sample and I believe is NOT an option for purchase in this plating
I have to say this is the best kit I have got my hands on...without a doubt
I then thought..how the hell am I going to do this without bushes \bushings
go for it was only option
when you get this pen in hand it surpasses all expectations
well here is my interpretation

I just hope that I have done it due justice

Steve

You must have been so excited you didn't say what wood it is. It certainly is a stunning pen you have made and I really like the gunmetal, how long Dan until you order those?

The long game is to order gun metal as part of my next order. This is obviously dependant on sales of the chrome (currently standing at 30%). If people feel gun metal would sell then I see no reason in not stocking them.

Just to add that Steve has been incredibly loyal and patient whilst replacing his tools and I thank him for that. Sending him a few samples is the least I could do.
Great looking pens Steve
