I am trying to up the ante with making pens so I bought a couple of Snakeskin blanks to go along with some Baron pen kits. This is the first set. I found it harder to get a clean cut with my skew so I had to sand for quite awhile to get rid of the ridges that developed. This is easily my favorite pen to date (until I make the fountain version of this kit :).
Enjoy!
