I did 3 of them at the same time on this particular one. I only had 1 kit and couldn't decide which to use. So i ended up making all 3 and ordering 2 more kits. But i did all 3 of them in around 3 hours total. Maybe less. When I first started it would take me an entire day or more. I got it down pretty good now and which tools to use where, ect. These are the 3 i did, top to bottom is HRB, Maple Burl, Pyinma burl. I thought having them like this would help me decide which pen to make. I went with the Maple burl.Aewsome work Joe!! How long does it take you to create that masterpiece?
