Well, I should add that they are my favorites that "I have made". So many awesome pen makers here. The nice thing about being new to anything is that you can really see your improvements. With just about each new pen I make my newest favorite. These are made from Padauk, Cebil, and my old Visa card. Kind of a unique color for a credit card. I will definitely be segmenting with credit/gift cards in the future.
