Another busy Emperor

[cueman]

This is my lastest Emperor. This design was per a customers request, they liked a previous design I did and wanted something similar. It has cocobolo scallops and stripes lined with thin aluminum, and aluminum dot inlays.

All I can say is, WOW!! Beautiful

 

[Ron Mc]

Absolutely perfect! I have been watching your pens and you always amaze me.
Very well done.

 

[dfurlano]

Nice pen, imho the kit takes away for the wood. You should make another with ebonite on the ends and center band.

 

[Randy_]

Nice job!! Looks like you are putting the Gisi guys in your sights??

 

[TruckDrivingFool]

Sweet, I think the kit goes great w/ the aluminum inlays.

 

[micah]

WOW, I really like that a lot! I wish that I had the skills and tools that it takes to do such a piece of work. I know I shouldn't, but I really envy some of you that have the ability to do things like this. Really awesome.[]

 

[CaptG]

Very nice. How thick is the aluminum? Is it shim stock?

 

[wdcav1952]

Holy Toledo, that is incredible!!!

 

[alamocdc]

Excellent craftsmanship all the way around, Douglas!!! Busy, yes, and as beautiful as it is, I can't help but feel that the segmentation competes with the hardware. However, the customer is always right![][^]

 

[hanau]

nice pen!!
But i have a question, How do you make it, all the inlays?

 

[Jerryconn]

WOW!!! I am speechless. [:0] That is a gorgeous pen!! Excellent!!

 

[woodpens]

Another work of art, Douglas! Keep 'em coming. [8D]

[:0]Beautiful work. Douglas has some serious pen skills. Some of his gear is just pieced together stuff that you wouldnt think could turn out work like this. Just goes to speak to Douglas' ability to take whatever is there and make it work.

 

[Snazzypens]

Gorgeous that kind of pen I dream to be able to make. GORGEOUS

one word fantastic.

 

[Buzz]

Agree, superb work and in my opinion not too "busy" at all. The inlays are beautifully proportioned and the design looks very well balanced.

 

[johnnycnc]

an eye catcher!Beautiful work.[^]

 

[Gary Max]

That is a work of art.

 

[Jim15]

[Penmonkey]

That is a very good pen. Thank you for showing it.

 

[thewishman]

Gorgeous! Excellent workmanship and great imagination! Thank you for sharing the picture. I'm sure your customer was VERY happy.

[ed4copies]

Doug,

The customer IS always accomodated!!!

I agree the pen is too intricate for the emperor body, too much gold detracts.

However, your work is just astonishing!!!!!

Can I ask what glue you use? Aluminum to wood joints.

Also, do you know how many hours you have in that blank??? If so, will you tell us???

Really amazing!

 

[Radman]

Yeowza!!!

 

[Jamie]

I really hate you people that can make pens like these! And if you have to make them, for God's sake don't show them to me. Do you have any idea what that can do to a fragile ego like mine? I'm ready to inplode... do you want that on your conscience?

 

[GaryMGg]

Douglas,

Fantastic. I applaud your craftsmanship. It's humbling and motivating at once.
Thanks for sharing your talent.

[Rifleman1776]

While 'busy' designs are not to my personal taste, I have to admit this is one beautiful pen. Would that I could come close to your craftsmanship. And, yes, I also had the Gisi styles in mind with I saw yours.

 

[Paul in OKC]

That is sweet!
