Bow & Turquoise

[wolftat]

I couldn't sleep again for a change and since I haven't done much lately I decided to make this. It's a platinum Jr. Retro HB360 made of BOW and turquoise truestone. I was about to assemble it and decided that the little end cap just didn't work with the pen so I made a new one out of the truestone as well. The finish is 10 coats of CA micromeshed to 12000.

That is really lovely! Nice job. I think you should give up sleep if this is what it does!!! hahha ok maybe not a good idea after a few days.

I think there was a deep underlying reason why you couldnt sleep!! And it was to create this masterpiece! Looks great!

I have learned the hard way that after not sleeping for 3-4 days to stay away from power tools.

Hey Neil
Beautiful pen.
Is that a 360??

It's a 360 6 column, I am going to need a little less sleep before I do an 8 column. Maybe this weekend I will go on a caffeine bender and make one.

Looks better than sleep to me. BOW always a favorite.

Gorgeous!

Just beautiful -- I've always like BOW, but the herringbone segmenting gives it even more interest. The turquoise goes very will with it, too.

Very nice Neil. I like the custom finial, sets the pen off nicely.
