I think I need to make one like that with some Saints colors.

Great looking pen Tony. I think you forgot some things on your list. Like you lathe, bushing, turning tools, finishing supplys, power company

 

[Don Rabchenuk]

Great looking pen and blank. I want one.

You are right! I didn't want to overwhelm the reader LOL. BTW, the dishtowel came from Bed and Bath .

I thought it was a good way to promote our IAP vendors.


Ok, back to my day job.

Thanks for the feedback!

Another great looking pen Tony.

That's a very nice pen, Tony!

Thank you, I am actually more "excited" about the Monteverde gel refills (as another option to the Schmidt 9000s). It is still too early post a review, but I am enjoying them so far. I found it to be a hybrid between a BP and RB.

Don't forget what clothes he was wearing
Which shoes
What brand dust mask.:biggrin:

Just KIDDING. Great looking pen. I have yet to see one of yours that doesn't look great.

Beautiful pen Tony! I really like the Executive style. It is a very well balanced pen that shows off whatever the barrel is made of. I made a gold one on Strawberry Swirl acrylic from Wood Turninz and used it as my carry pen for a couple of weeks until I placed it in my display pouch. It sold the next day along with orders for two more just like it. I hate it when that happens. :biggrin:

I'd like to buy a blank like that, any particulars on it? Did you back paint it?

I live in the South. One is supposed to where clothes while turning?

"I have yet to see one of yours that doesn't look great."

Come over any time. .I have drawers,. countertops, car cup holders and glove compartments full of them.

It looks almost like rose petals. Great job!

Thanks for the compliments. I back-paint and paint the tubes 98% of the time when turning non-wood. With Brooks' blanks, I usually do the same even though I think his blanks are opaque enough not to require any painting. I did NOT paint any part of this one because I was hurtin' to make a pen and try-out a gel refill with it. My impatience didn't hurt me this time.

Did you get this one from Classic Nib or was this a one off? The Red Red Hot looks a lot like it, depending on the paint.
