1st Bull Run on a Sierra BP

[SDB777]

Had a few consignment pens to finish this morning, and I happened to have had a few that just needed turning....for me!


How about a First Bull Run 1861? On a Ballpoint Sierra kit? Okay...

Hard to photo the 'whole scene' at once....maybe a video would be better on these type blanks?


Close-up? Sure!

The amount of detail the USPS printing people put into this stamp was just amazing!


Not sure about the 'body type' for turning these type acrylics, but I think it works....any tips would be appreciated for this.

You really made a nice pen from that stamp. I like the way you were able to incorporate the edges of the stamp to take in the whole stamp on your blank. Well done. Frank

Scott,

That is a very nicely executed idea. The nib end looks a tad underturned and it does not look like it is fully pressed together. That is the downfall to great photos (you can see everything). I really love the pen though!

First Battle of Manassas? (I know it says Bull Run...but its a matter of perspective!)

Neat, looks good.

Wow nice pen.

I think you have a good thing going with the stamps there Scott. Those are sharp, and fit perfectly on a sierra style pen. I really like the "Year of the Dragon" ones as well.

Neat, looks good.

Now that you mention it, I was wondering Kinda of like saying the Civil War or the War of North Aggression(just depends on which side of the Mason-Dixon Line you were raised on I guess).


But gotta go with what is printed on the actual stamp.




Thanks everyone for the comments.

Looks really nice. You should show pics of the process or a tutorial would be nice too. I really like the workmanship in that one.
