Bob, Beautiful pen! I really like the look of the turquoise in the Blackwood. How do you think this pen would look if you added another black accent at the...
Ryan, Due to the number of turners suggesting the exact same thing I believe this is a change that needs to be done on one of the ads. Sincerely, Ron McIntire ...
