Paul,

Looks like a cracking pen, nice wood, nicely turned and finished but the pen kit looks naff, a bit like a christmas cracker plastic thingy and the gold rings around the finial look gold painted plastic. Am I talking cobblers or could you give us a critique of the kit?


Ha - the nose cone, is that a Polaris bit I see before me??????

Superb finish and wood Paul, but not sure about the kit..

The top looks like it's also got 3 rings, might look better with its cap in if you know what I mean..:bwink:

Spot on as usual Neil. I bought a lot of these kits a while ago and every now and again use them to try and get them out of the way. I would never buy any of these again which were called the exec when I bought them but are now marketed as the Churchill. I don't sell them as I don't like them but give them to work colleagues who adore them, but they're sad and don't know anything else :-)

Sometimes it's good not to comment but just sit back and read others views which just happen to correspond with your own thoughts.
