It is a beautiful pen, it reminds me of one shown is an article about why wood pens. I can't remember if it was a AAW publication or from this page.

Both actually, an AAW article listed with 2004 articles.

Looks very nice.

It reminds me very much of Scott Greaves' work.

 

[hazegry]

that was the article that gave me the idea for the shape of the pen. I changed some of it a little so it wouldn't be exactly the same. I have been turning for about 5 weeks.

very nice indeed...

Looks like you did fine work. Even though I am not a fan of beads and curlies, your choice of woods and finish is excellent.

 

[gerryr]

I'm sort of with Frank, not a fan of spindle work on pens, but that's just me. That aside, you did an excellent job, fit and finish look perfect and a good choice of woods.

[pete00]

Hey Jason!

For some reason, I just really like this pen! [8D]

I think you did an excellent job, and that bloodwood centerband looks great!

Scott.

 

[hazegry]

thanks for the insperation Scott I was trying to figure out how to make my own center bands when I came across the article showing how you did yours. I realy like the ability to make my own center band it gives me alot more options

 

[airrat]

Very nice, good job on it.

Jason,
I really do like the centerband design. Can I steal [B)] it for the Afzelia with Corian centerbad pens I have waiting on the workbench?

 

[hazegry]

go ahead I got my insperaation from Scott so it only seems fair post a pic when you are done.

Pen is awesome...Photo is lousy...Oscar

 

[hazegry]

buy me a better camera lol I do have a question what do you guys think I should be selling my pens for I was going to ask 30 for this one but I am thinking of asking 40

That's one pretty pen! I get $25 for most standard slimlines. If I do anything extra like the custom CB or such I usually add $10. With all the beading and form you've taken a lot more time than a plain slimline, I say go ahead and ask $40. Somebody out there will like it enough to buy it!
