Bloody Jasper truestone

[Texatdurango]

I wondered how Truestone would do with threading. It threaded nicely, now only time will tell how it will hold up. Body is Bloody Basin Jasper.

I like that, George. The shape looks quite comfortable.[^] Keep us posted as to how it holds up.

That is very fine, George. Where do you get those clips, if you don't mind?

Nice job George, the threads should hold quite well

Grant, I am robbing my Atlas kits of their clips. Since this blank was all red and black I thought why not a black clip to match.

I may have to buy a hundred more Atlas kits just for their clips!

Nice work, although I'm curious about the color. I did one pen from this stuff and it was a much deeper red, rather than bright red.

I noticed the color too, my blank is also burgundy. Remember I'm using a junker camera and it's hard to get decent shots some times. Here's another shot I just took which looks closer to real life.

That's a beautiful pen George ! You tap those threads yourself ?? If so, do you have to polish them ? Good choice of clip ![8D]

Thanks, I tapped the threads in the finale and the multi-start threads in the cap, the nib threads are factory which just so happen to match my tap!

That is a real beauty.

Really creative. The ability to thread seems to set you free. I'm going to have to invest in a tap and die set. - Chris
