With a Titanium Gold RT Euro 8mm Premium Double Twist. Shortened the tenon to expose the brass twist holder flange. Sanded with 400 grit and buffed with super fine steel wool while still on the lathe and polished with Hut Ultra Gloss. As always comments and or suggestions appreciated. Thanks for looking. Les    |

This one for a customer?
The finish you do on acrylic is just as good as the WoP you do for wood! And with no MircoMesh too!!!

Scott (closest I've seen to a Slimline from Les) B Thanks Scott, I no loner use MM, found that super fine steel wool along with polish dose a better job, is quicker and don't have to keep cleaning the MM. Cheaper too! Les |

Another great pen Les. I have not tried the 8mm Euros, but I guess they have a Parker refill. Do they come with an ink gel refill?

looks great and I was wondering the same thing as doug. I saw some of these type of kits at woodcraft today and was thinking I should have gotten a few of these while i was there.

Thanks Les. If it uses a Parker refill, I'm sure an ink gel could be substituted. That alone makes it interesting to consider. I get really good responses from potential customers by letting them try writing with an ink gel. Almost everyone who tries it is really impressed.
So, if the premium Euro uses the Parker refill instead of a Cross refill, it is definitely worth looking into. I just wish the Euro pencil kit was a better one so that a pen/pencil set would be more attractive. They look great as a set, but the Euro pencil concerns me a great deal.
