First high ends

[tim self]

First is Turquoise from AS wrapped around a Rhodium Statesman.
Second is Jr. Statesman Rhodium/22k in Bog Oak. Learned bog oak is real finicky about chipping and blowing up! DAMHIKT.
Pictures arent great but are getting better. All comments welcome.

Thanks

Good job Tim.

Yeah Bog Oak can be onnerous. And it can vary by the piece greatly. I have a couple piece I refuse to sell that are so punky that each one has sucked an entire tube (the small comercial tubes) of CA in. They turn out fine, but take special attention.

Funny thing is I am going to make that same combo Bog Oak/Jr. Statesman this weekend.

Great looking pens Tim .

Beautiful pair.

Pics are a bit dark. You can take care of that with a good pic editing program.

Way to go Tim. Sweet looking pens. Keep up the good work.

Nice work, Tim. Hard to pick a favorite as both are special.

Tim, I have to say I prefer the bog oak. Not just because the wood is so striking but the shape of the pen is really nice. The lower barrel of the Tru Stone looks out of proportion to the upper barrel to my eye.

Tim, they both look very nice.
I like the trustone!
