Compare 2 Jr Gent

[paulm]

I've got Jr Gents from Australia and from China and decided to make a pen from each to see if I could tell the difference. One is in Elm and the other Bubinga can you tell the difference?

 

[Grump]

Not without a bloody pic I can't init?

 

[Buckeye]

With the last photo if you focus on the nearest pen you will have more chance of getting both in focus.

Two very nicely turned pieces of wood Paul
And from the pictures I can't see a difference in the kits

We're all allowed little faux pas

When you're as pissed as I am, you'd be lucky to focus at all

Thanks Peter

It looks to me as if you had the same problem with the bubinga one were part of the thread on the finial end has sunk into the chrome ring as you press the nib end in other than that no I cant tell the difference but I think David get some of his kits from China

I never noticed until you mentioned it Woody. Its probably due to being too heavy handed on the vice.

 

[Grump]

I can tell the difference straight away.
One is in Elm and the other Bubinga init?

No mine were sinking in before the nib end had gone right home the barron dose exactly the same personally I think it is better to spend a bit more on Dan's new kit I for one wont be buying any more J/G or barron kits ever again

 

[paulm]

I've still got a dozen or so Jr Gents, I'll have a look at why they do that Woody. I like the shape of the pen and I've only just received my first batch of Barons so I've gotta do those as well now.

Did you say you got one from China and the other from China via Australia?

 

[paulm]

Did you say you got one from China and the other from China via Australia?

Oh, trust you to mention the obvious

 

[wm460]

So which was which?

 

[paulm]

The Elm came from China and the Bubinga from Timberbits.

I still have a few Barron's to do then that's it no more for me which is a shame same as you I like the shape of them

 

[bluntchisel]

What ever country made the kits makes no difference here - for my money that beautiful elm wins it all! Well done, Paul!

Bob.

 

[Vic Perrin]

Both look very good to me.
