The blanks are from Woodturningz and when I put similar on Executive Sierras they sat on my stand very stubbornly refusing to be sold. Put them on the Omega, and greased lightning, theyre gone!

Here's three more:

Interesting blanks well turned and finished. I'm not keen on the shape, but hey that's just personal taste. Obviously your customers loved them and that's the important bit :thumbs:

Hey Chas, that shape is to match Neils Hour Glass Figure you CAD.

Very nice Neil, I like them despite being plastic. :thumbs:

See how I stood up for you? :funny:

Chas,

The shape grows on you when you pick it up, and it does seem to make them sell, it's a point of interest. Used to sell this pen when I bought them from exotic blanks as the visage with a straight wood finish but saw this shape and started to turn it in acrylic and the sales went up noticeably.

They do lack refinement! I sold a pair of roller alls to one couple last weekend, her pen was the same style but vivid pink and black, awful, but they paid cash so it was quite a nice pen really! (Not)
