Chuckie, I like the look of the cap. The twists are well executed to match the Cherry inlay/segments/veneer. The other issues excluded, I'm not sure I like the way the cap appears to swallow the pen body. It just looks out of balance to me. It might look less obtrusive if it were only about half the total capped length. Just my perceptions.[^]

Chuckie great job mate!I think your are on to somethink here that is uniqe' keep em coming l realy like seeing somethink differrent [][8D]

Wow, I appreciate all the encouraging comments!

I have to agree with Billy that the style is a bit non traditional when compared to the look most pen kits. Part of the inspiriation was the closed Kaweco pen lines. Have even thought about having the cap enclose even more of the lower barrel in sort of a self contained turtle shell type cap/pen case combo. Bill J mentioned the other inspiration based on the cover photo of the September issue of PWI without all the gems of course.

Thanks again everyone.

The cap sure opens a lot of design opportunities for you. Excellent job!

The pen is also very nice...but they don't look as great together.

I think that the cap looks good, and so does the body. But when you put them together:[V] it looks not so good. That is my professional opinion.
