I have had this kit for a while and now made it. I decided to innundate my mom with Mother’s day cards and lead off the barrage with this nice letter opener. Simply turned just like a pen on a 7 mm mandrel, sanded to 1500 grit, EEE polish, and two coats of Shellawax friction polished makes a nice shine.
Happy Mother’s day!

I am convinced. I have been thinking about doing a letter opener and matching pen/pencil set for quite some time. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. Thanks for sharing.
