First Gatsby Grande

[qquake2k]

This is my first Gatsby Grande from PSI. It's like a Sierra (or one of its many derivatives) on steroids. It's the same length at 5-1/4". But the diameter of the bushings is .525", versus .470" on the regular Gatsby. I'm not a big fan of the style of the Sierra but I like this one. I guess I just like fat pens. The blank is Copper Canyon from Exotic Blanks, which is a very nice looking blank. Overall, I'm very happy with this one.

I noticed during turning, that there was a gap between one of the bushings and the blank. At first I thought I had made a mistake when I trimmed it, but apparently it's just a badly machined bushing. There are no gaps between the pen components and the blank.

May have to get some of those. I also like a big pen. Your pen is great. The kit and blank colour go together nicely.
