This is a satin gold slimline done with a nice piece of amboyna burl. Nothing fancy. Thanks for looking.

Wow Fred, that's pretty! My only comment is, it seems a shame to waste such a beautiful piece of wood on a slimline!

Jim, I agree but I needed a pen to carry with me on a daily basis, and the slimline is the only thing that will fit in the pen pocket of my flight suit. I've got a couple of more pieces that will be used for more appropriate projects.

Looks real good - fancy or not!
PSI has a slim profile "click",
Would that be more more convenient in a flight suit?

May we disagree? [
)] Attractive, quality parts, beautiful wood, well executed workmanship that fits a specific need. Not a waste. Some things can be overdone trying to outdo others. There is often elegance in simplicity. This deserves an "Atta boy".

I think the satin gold kit makes that burl stand out more beautiful..nice workmanship..and whatsa matter with the lowly slimline..lots of people prefer that size pen..especially when it fits the need..!

Nice looking pen Fred . Here, Here on the slimline pen , there's so much that you can do with it that you just can't do with some other pen kits .

Like it Fred. I never thought of using satin gold with Amboyna, but they really go well together. Nice work.

Okay, I agree, slimlines certainly have their place! I just meant that some of the larger pens will result in more surface area to show off the pattern in the wood. Again, I DO think it is a beautiful pen!
Keep up the good work Fred!

I have never thought of satin gold with Amboyna but you just showed that it is a great combo. VERY sharp looking pen and nice work and finish.

Fred, that's a beautiful looking pen and you did a great job on it,nice work!
Jim, I know what you mean, I had to make a pen for my best friend a couple of weeks ago and he wanted a slimline made from BEB. I hated wasting all that wood. That's when it would be nice to have 1/2" square blanks on hand.
