I like the clean lines. Very classy.

Wow. That is really nice. Do you make the rings on a metal lathe or buy them somewhere? I want to add rings to the kitless ones I am working on but not sure how to go about it.

I really like that material. Looks professional and classy. Really good job with it.

Outstanding pen Doc! Are the parts brass or plated? I wouldn't know the difference from the photos. :redface: Really very nice work.

Ron, Thank you. I usually make my own bands from sheet of sterling silver and solder them. The center band on this pen is a sterling silver band I bought some time ago from an E Bay seller that is a pipe maker. Will find name and PM you. I plated the band with FastGold from Caswell and my own rectifier
which lays down a pretty heavy durable coat. Finished with Caswell metal lacquer. The other gold accents are from Richard Greenwald.

Mal, Thank you. It's Cumberland ebonite...

Chuck, thank you... It's gold plated as I described to Ron above.
Regards, Doc.

I've admired your work from day one, Doc. I haven't been around much for a while, but it was nice to come on and see this! Reminds me of what I was inspired to aim for prior to moving and having life take a side rail. Your craftsmanship is awesome.
