This is one of those pens that I was not sure about, that is why I only got one to try. It does take a bigger blank to make this kit. It is OK in the hand but only for those that like a larger diameter pen. Even after making it I am not sure about the kit if it sells quickly I may buy one to replace it.
I did have problem with the finish on the cap part kept leaving a dull patch so took it back to bear wood cleaned up and reapplied the finish. Once both pieces had a great shine to them I rubbed them back to give more of a satin/semi-gloss finish
