Fantastic quality, I have made almost twenty of these pens, and have been exceptionally satisfied with the result.
One thing to note is that you should not cut the wood for the cap shorter before glueing it to the brass tube. If you do, the wood will be a bit short and the cap won't screw down well enough.
It's much easier to cut them uniformly, glue them to the tubes, begin turning, get the wood rounded (no more flat spots) and then use a parting tool while the wood is still thick to separate a good 1/4 inch of the wood from the brass. The wood won't break (I've used this method with burls, curly woods, and dozens of others) and then you attach the ring from the bushing set, and finish turning.
The refills for the fountain pens aren't common at office supply stores anymore (they are an older waterman design) but ARE common at any craft store (like Micheals), and the ink pump you get with the fountain kit works very well. I'm currently using a purple ink in my own fountain pen.
Refills for the rollerballs are common at any good office supply store.

These pen kits are quite attention-grabbing when completed. I find that almost everyone I show them to is impressed by both how well these pens show the stock and by the design of the pen. Additionally, both styles, the fountain and the rollerball write very smoothly and beautifully.
"Your service is the best. You had my entire order in stock which is hard to find anymore. I ordered on Monday and had it Tuesday. Wow. Thank you so much for being first class." -
