Black and Red Custom

[drgoretex]

Hello fellow pen makers,

Haven't posted in a bit, thought I'd put up a couple of pics of pen I just shipped out the fellow who ordered it. He wanted a pen like a Black and Yellow one I did some time ago but with red swirl acrylic instead of the yellow.

Well, any excuse to get out into the shop... :tongue:

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Ken

No pictures?

The pictures are there and the pen in then looks great

Nice work, Ken! Black sure is a tough color to get a perfect finish on, but you nailed it! Wish I was the recipient of this beauty!

Huh, bummer... not showing for me.

I bet it's purdy!

I can see the pictures, they are sourced on photobucket so it may be blocked for some people, a good reason to upload them here so they always work.

The pen turned out quite nice and I like the detail at the ends, I don't like that the threads are visible though.

That explains it, since I'm at work.

I'll be sure to take a look when I get home!

Glad to see you make another pen Ken. Love the contrasting colors and shape.

 

[NotURMailman]

Glad I took another look. It's awesome!

Absolutely gorgeous pen! Though, I'd have to agree with Andrew, I'd prefer not to see the threads...

Thanks! Actually, I don't really disagree about the threads. However, the material used was chosen by the buyer himself for this pen. In fact, while I would personally prefer a more opaque acrylic for the cap, the translucent nature of this stuff gives a rather cool effect as the pen is capped and uncapped - you can see the nib inside the cap. Anyhow, the new owner likes it, and that's what matters

Cheers,

Ken
