Apricot and Walnut Executives

[galoot_loves_tools]

These are apricot and walnut PSI Executive pens in rhodium:

This pen uses the same tube as a Carbara, has a nice diameter, the rhodium model is a nice kit. The plating is very nice. The finial unscrews and you drop in the refill. I didn't show the clip but it is nicely shaped.

The walnut came from a small chunk of wood with some crotch figure, the apricot came from a friend who took down a small tree. I love the stuff, it is pretty hard but turns like a dream. Finish is CA on both pens.

I really like the blank, but don't care for the kit.

Very nice pair, though.

Nice pens, i like the kits, i think they show the timber in a handsome style. A nice alternative to a lower cost two peice pen. Nice work.

Great looking pens and pictures!

Thanks, everyone! As for the pictures, I just placed the pens on the back of the leather couch in my den and shot them with natural light coming in the window. It was a cloudy day so the light was diffuse. Both pictures were handheld with a Pentax K200D dSLR and the 18-55mm kit lens.

I have a 3 ft section of the main trunk of the apricot tree still to cut up, I can't wait to see what kind of pen blanks are in there.
