I like the look of the Celtic kit - with the standard green cabochon, I thought it would be nice to match with a Malachite Faux-Stone blank from Exotic Blanks.
The Faux-Stone blanks are much more affordable than Tru-Stone, and they seem to machine very similarly, and look just as impressive.
My only gripe about this kit, is that the bushing pair are identical 0.530" diameter - the clip end of the pen measures about .530", so you can rely on the bushing to get you close, but the nib end measures .508", so the bushing is not really useful. I don't know why PSI doesn't offer a nib bushing and a clip bushing of the different diameters.
Anyway, comments & critiques welcome.
