Sierra in Olive wood ( One of TaylorMirfield Samples)

[Terry]

This is one of Dan's samples a gunmetal and chrome Sierra in one of Neil Lawtons Olive wood finished in CA. According to the business card it is classed as a flat top Sierra when in fact it is a stylus Sierra.
This is a quality made kit and if Dan has his pricing correct then I am sure this kit will sell!!!!!!
My only crib and this is purely my thoughts and others might disagree is the decorative ring on the nib section has what looks like either Greek or Egyptian lettering. I would prefer either a knurled ring like Timberbits or a plain ring. As this ring is a separate piece then I am sure Dan would be able to negotiate with his supplier to alter this if he should wish to. Other than this minor detail I can't fault the kit !!!

That's a real beauty, Terry, I quite like the ring, but not the stylus. Your photo's are superb.

Its classed as a 'Zodic Centre Band' I will talk to them about what other options I have with it. That Kit is expected to go on sale at under £4.50.

Looks mighty fine to me Terry, I don't mind the belt at all, the last one I saw of David's had kangaroos or some australain insignia on it so that is the least of worries.
Great pics, well done on that score mate, you have it well sorted now init? Wish I was having such results, hey ho keep at it init?

Well done Terry, the wood suits the kit.

The C/B looks fine to me Terry, not in love with stylus pens thou .. A good looking pen and Great images may i add ..

 

[Matt]

Really like the kit including the decorative ring. Beautiful wood as well, you have really done it justice the proposed price seems very good value as well

 

[Woody]

Love it well turned for a man of your age Terry I like the C/B better not keen on the stylus though a very good price Dan I can see you are going to do well

Great piece of wood done justice Terry, love the finish, the shape, the whole shooting match.

I quite like the CB to be honest, bit different.

All in all looks very good, you may well be selling quite a few of those Dan :up:

 

[Terry]

Thanks for the comments gents. As I said in the review the centre band is a personal thing and I would prefer a plain or knurled band but everyone to their own. The kit itself is very good and well worth what Dan is going to charge!!!!

Nice work on the pen Terry, we'll turned and finished. Again, the stylus will always be contentious, if you use one they're fine, if you don't, they're ugly.

Nicely done Terry.

How does the kit compare to the ones from TB? - They are just over £3 ($5.80).
