Closed end slim in paduck w CA/BLO

[stevers]

This is my forth CA/BLO finish. I think I have got it figured out. It's much easier than straight CA by a mile.
It's a Fancy Slim Line in Paduck with a closed end design.
Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very cool look, would of never thought to do a slim closed end.

Steve, Wow that is really a nice looking pen. I like the extended closed end. Nice job on the finish too.

Nice pen! Lovely lines.[^]

nice pen steve. that'd look great in a little holder on a desk. did you use the standard mandrel closed end method?

 

[Ligget]

Great work, I like the shape of the closed end![]

 

[stevers]

Thanks fellas. Andrew, that's what my wife said. Yes it was a standard closed end mandrel from AS. Any 7mm bushing will go on the mandrel. I like the result too. I made it a little longer too. That's probably why it looks like it would work well in a desk set.

Steve, I agree with Andrew and your wife. Make a matching pen holder with funnel for that and you have really got something nice!

Now that's a beautiful slimline! Nice job on the closed end. Yes, that would make a perfect desk set pen.

certainly adds some sophistication to what is usually a very ordinary pen.
Your pen stands well above the average - well done

I have a nice chunk of Jocambima (probably spelled wrong) in the shop, maybe that'll be my next project. And this next one will have a slimmer lower barrel.
Thanks for all the nice words.

That's a really nice looking pen, Steve! Looks like you have the CA/BLO thing down pretty well. I love that long closed end.
