Here are a couple of Antique Brass and Pewter skull twist Action pens.

Antique brass in Olivewood & Pewter pen in Red Dyed Stabilised burr Maple.

I am fully aware the majority do not like the themed heavy pens but some people do and they like too see them before they make a choice.

Their Choice !!!!!!!
I am All for Constructive Criticism but
If you cannot be civil without resorting to pedantic dribble then i would rather you did not post.

Before you ask ? These 2 have already been sold :thumbs:

Very nice, Johnny - these do it for me! I like the themed kits and wish that they could be bought in this country. In view of the freight, tax and handling charges incurred when ordering from the USA I wouldn't buy from there, though! Keep 'em coming, John!

Well I think they are great Johnny.
I always look at your posts because, apart from impeccable turning, I know I'm going to see something different!

If these, the celtic, and armour type kits were available locally I'd probably be making them, as I know I could sell them around here.
Keep it up.

Always love your postings, they are always impecably turned and thought inspireing....i think you should get a few free kits from PSI cos you make these kits look good( something they struggle with)...love the maple more than the olive.....again might have to try one now:drool:

I don't like them, I love them. I like how you turn them level, I try to do the same on the big pen kits.

Johnny there is a whole change evolving in pen kits led by PSI and others the market is there the approach of giving choice is essential. Love the pens the theming is ready for thousands of blokes on big bikes and Goths of all ages. When I look at pens all I see are oportunities thanks for showing mate.

Although I'm not keen on the kits personally, theres no faulting you turning and finishing Johnny :thumbs:
Infact now Axminster are selling the PSI kits I may well make as I can see them being good sellers.

They are good sellers for me and have been for a long time , the reason I turn them is that i actually like them as well as the traditional kits that everyone else makes.

Problem for me is that soon you will all be turning them and they will become the norm.:sob:

Great work. :thumbs:

It's a shame that more of these themed kits aren't available in the UK. I've just taken delivery from PSI of a batch of their new music themed kits and will post pictures when I get round to using them.
