I find that this kit goes well with most of the woods I have as well as the various other materials I have used. The customers love them too.

Nice product for far less than other options.

These are the best deal on the market... I had to convince people that it wasnt black T/N.
pros
inexpensive but not cheap
great lasting finish
great fit
cons
one of the clips was bent- nothing much

Besides the copper, this is my favorite finish for basic pen kits. It has a mirror-like finish but yet is that dark metal which is especially nice for giving to guys. These make a really sharp finished pen.

This is a great pen kit. It's economical and easy to make. The gun metal plated pen is very nice looking and the twist mechanism is exceptionally smooth.

The gun metal finish is my personal favorite. It looks stunning on your pens, no matter what type of blanks you use in your turning. You have a pen to be proud of when you use the gun metal finish!
Reviewer: Ronald Wiley (Dawsonville, GA)
Good enough functionally, but having difficulty finding applications where gun metal looks good. Will keep having fun trying and will eventually hit up a good combination of materials.
I love the finish on the gun metal. Out of 100 kits I had only one that was defective in the turning mechanism. I just ordered 200 more. No complaints from me on this one!

I have used this finish with African Coral and Chekta Woods and the results are stunning....I have really been happy with the pens and so have my customers.

This is the perfect kit for a beginner. The plating is perfect. This will make a quick sell!
