Butterscotch Moss

[Timebandit]

I know, I know, your getting sick of me arent you Well here is the 2nd pen i made yesterday. Same shape as the last one. This one is Butterscotch Moss Italian Acrylic with a #6 Bock feed and nib. I dont have this clip in gold but thought the gold nib looked much better so i used it. I might go back and get pics with the polished nib just so it matches, but im going to see about having some of my clips plated because i think gold would be much better on this pen.

All Comment Welcome

Thanks For Looking

Great job! Which one will we copy in "the class"? If we ever have one

Really nice. I agree a gold clip would add to the look.

Another great job! The only thing about it I can critique is the colour variance from the top to bottom due to the material thickness.

Thanks!! I know what you mean. With the cap on its not as noticeable because the front section and nib darken it up to help look like the barrel.

Justin,
Another fantastic job.

Thank You!!

Are these being turned on a metal or wood lathe? Almost to perfect. At least for me and my Rikon Mini.

All my pens are turned on a Jet1024vs with one woodturning tool, a Woodchuck Penpro.

I haven't commented on any of these before. I have to say your skill is far beyond mine and I'm impressed by your ability to even dream up let alone execute a kit-less pen. This one might be my favorite so far.

So well done!!

I wonder though, for the clip. If you accented it with say a layer of aluminum or even a slice of thin black acrylic instead of trying to hide it. It might solve the issue of the seam. Just an passing observation. Not a criticism at all.

Thanks Peter!! The accent band could work and i might have something like this in the future.
