A new kit

dozer · 05-11-2008, 09:14 PM

I had to make a pen set for my sister in-law that she was going to give as a gift. I had tried to order some kits that I did not have bushings for and the bushing were on back order so I was told to pick a kit that would really catch someones eye.

This is what I came up with the picture is not the best I did not have time to get a good picture as she was on here way to pick them up almost as soon as i finished them.

Those are really nice, dozer. Man, I'd like to see a good picture. I'm sure the client was pleased.

Good job, man.

Them's some nice pens you made. All jokes aside they are beautiful!

Very nice Dozer!

Is that Amboyna? Beautiful finish

!

Dozer the Amboyna is gorgeous, the kits a little too gaudy for my taste. I like the wood to be the headliner on a pen, but that is only my opinion, and they sure do look fancy. I do prefer the silver over the gold, just never been a gold fan.
Nice fit and finish, I am sure that that your SIL will be proud to give them as a gift.

Good looking pens! I like the cigars, but haven't decided if I like the pimped out versions or not.

As usual, great work

I've made a few with those "pimped out" kits myself, I still haven't decided whether or not I like them. Particulalry the feel. But they sure have a wow factor.

Since I don't sell them, I have no idea if they really enhance the market value. Have you got a feel for that?

TurnStyle · 05-12-2008, 11:59 AM

Very fancy, very fine! Where did you get your pen kits from?

dozer · 05-12-2008, 03:40 PM

Steve they do seem to sell i showed these pens to another potential buyer and now they wan a set also they said they preferred this kit over the regular cigar.

Jon, I buy almost all of my kits from Arizona Silhouette. Bill has always been really good to deal with and i feel he has earned my business.

Thanks Mike - I'll check them out.
