November 12, 20178 yr Popular Post comment_131090 I started this project a while ago and had some interruptions but finally have them done. I planned on doing 60 pen and pencil sets but stopped at 53. I kept one set to show what they looked like before I changed them to wood. The chrome tips are the pens and black tips are the pencils. Light ones are Cherry, dark ones are Black Walnut and reddish ones are Honduran Mahogany. I left one set in their original state for reference. Report

November 12, 20178 yr comment_131122 Those turned out spectacular Dan...gonna' be some mighty happy folks to get those as gifts! I think you're the first I've seen to do pen/pencil sets...great vision on your part to do so economically yet provide a very high end look!! You've found a real niche which could be a profit maker for you should you choose; just sayin' Report
