Take a guess
to me at least, executive clicker from TB I order up a couple just to see what they were like.

I quite like them but they do feel a little chunky though the longer timber section will give different scope for segmenting.

This one is on a Padauk blank with an interesting "swirl" patch in it, I`ve had this blank ages as I wanted it on a pen that I would be keeping & as I also tried a new to me finish on it, the PPP hut wax, It will be interesting to see how the pen & finish stands up to regular use.

I've not yet seen anything I didn't like made from padauk and this is no exception. Turned lovely.

Does look good Doug, and as Paul states, Padauk is a very reliable wood to work with .. Looks like you got a good shine on so lets see what the daily use does to it ... As for the kit i have never used it, if the clicker holds out it looks fit for purpose .. :bwink:

Don't listen to them boys Doug, they're only jealous because they don't have one.
I made a curly click for myself yesterday and it was a toss up between that or this for my kit.
Grumps tells me Padauk is a wood, I have so much to learn, have you spelled it right?

Really nice wood and finished pen, I like the kit, I have several and they are versatile.

Never used this Kit either Doug, looks good, finish is top notch.:thumbs:
Lots of potential for segmenting....
Can't wait to try Paduak. Methinks: Got to get time in garage.....:sob:
