Hello,
I’m having fun with pin chucks and exploring design with solid pens. This is one I made this week, the blank is a Lucite called black rose. I have been buying this Lucite from PipeMakers Emporium in Phoenix Az, as have some other pen turners as well. This one has a dense black with a blend of red to it, great for not showing a tube inside.
The material is on a junior gentlemen’s platinum roller ball
I am having fun making these…it’s a better test of hand skill and allows design to be a function of the over all shape. I have been inspired by some other pen makers so this shape is not original, but it’s got potential I think.
It’s not that easy to get the static dust off the pen as you can see either, I cleaned this one a few times…missed a few.
Thanks for viewing,
Critiques are welcome please
Take care,
Jim
