First Cast pen

[travis21]

30% silver, 70% copper
wood is old growth redwood burl with crushed chrysocolla inlay
set stone and stone wheel are chrysocolla
there is crushed chrysocolla and enamel on the metal
waterman rollerball refill

I am 20 and have been working with wood and metal about a year and half
interested in hearing what everyone thinks about this pen
I know it is not perfect, I was rushed to meet a class deadline, but I would like to redesign it to make it more practical for actual carry and use.
I also know you are all jealous of my wonderful backdrop :tongue:

I love the concepts you have going here. Yes, needs to be refined, but a GREAT start on something that shows a nice departure.

Keep working on this because it shows great potential.

That is a sweet backdrop!:smile-big:

You made everything but the refill here? That is awesome!!!

Hi Travis - You appear to have some good solid skills that should serve you well in making pens as you continue to develop those skills. As to this pen, I would suggest you keep it as a "milestone" pen rather than reworking it.

Some adjustments to proportionality on the next version could result in a very nice pen.

I agree

I agree with everyone else, love the direction you are going and keep going with it.
