Hi All
Always looking for something new / different, I noticed that all my pens, pencils etc have clips and I have not used a clip on a pen / pencil since my school days, so I come up with this writing stick. I am sure I will get your opinion and suggestions.
There are 4 with flared top ends i prefer these myself.
Timber/Materials are, from the left:
Corian, Corian, Sheoak,Brazilian, Tulipwood, Ebony, Holm Oak, Yew (Irish), Cocobolo, Boxwood (Irish), Rock Maple and Satine Bloodwood.
Swarosiki crystal are inlayed at the top end.

I don't dislike em but I might take a bit of convincing that I do like them.
I like the idea, but I also like clips. Court is out for me until I have looked again later.

I don't mind them, and they are certainly different which probably scares us old uns off them lol .. Good to see that they are named after a certain jolly fellow ... :tongue:

Nice - although I personally would never (admit to) want a pen with a Swarovski crystal! One advantage of clips is that they stop the pen from rolling off the desk. Any thoughts on that?

I like them and the more I look at them the more I like them. I think to stop it rolling off the desk, it needs stabilizers David.

At least 3 crystals set into the sides of the pen will stop it rolling and add bling:devil:
