We used this as a gift for our youth minister. He absolutely loved it.

Outstanding project. Used for a retirement present for my friend. Overall easy to obtain great results, however need to be patient in turning. If using skew you could easily pull inlays off of the tube. I recommend sanding, vice using chisels.

This is a beautiful inlay kit. Care must be taken when turning not to take off too much of the inlay material. It is very easy to sand off the detail in the praying hands. Leave the middle a little high and taper the ends.

I made this pen for a Pastor that we ordained in our church a couple of weeks ago. This couldn't be a more simple pen to put together, really. My only real ding on this the following: because the hands have laser etching that define wrinkles, etc., the ability to trim / sand on the hand itself is limited, only a small amount is possible without starting to sand off the etching. The problem is that the pen was a bit bulky for my liking and I couldn't taper the ends down slowly enough for my own personal liking. I had somewhat abrupt tapering at the ends of the blank, nothing like what I see in the picture. Anyhow, I'm not an expert turner by any stretch so maybe I didn't approach this the right way.

Ordered and received ten Praying Hands kits [...] I will buy more. The only complaint is that I had to drill out the blanks so the tubes would fit. They were a little smaller than 27/64 inch.

I would recommend this kit for a pen turner of any skill level. The kit is the easiest laser kit I have put together. The whole process from glueing up the blank, turning and assembling the pen took about 30 minutes.
