First Kitless Pen

[tdjumr]

Here is my first kitless pen. Was entered into the freestyle contest. Too many excellent pens for mine to make the finals. Next year will be a different story..... (My sub liminal messaging in the first picture didn't work)

Birdseye Maple and Alt Ebony Custom Pen. 7mm transmission with a Parker style refill. The 7mm transmission is reversed to be used with the parker refill and spring.

What was the subliminal message supposed to be?

Look at the tip of the pen.

Ahhhhhh said the blind man so I see! Still its a very nice pen and you pushed yourself to make a great pen. I think its very well done.

Beautiful! That pen is surely a...winner! Hmmm...not sure why that word just popped into my head...

Seriously, that's a lovely bit of original woodwork there! Very, very nice!

Nice piece of BEM and nice combination. I also like the design and finish so, overall, a really nice pen in my book.

That pen was actually my favorite of the Freestyle entries. There are pens and then there is art. That is art! That is classy work and I'd really like to see an explanation of how you accomplished it. A drawing or some photos of it taken apart would be helpful. Does it pull apart like a 7mm? to access the refill? Mostly - how do you get an all wood tip?

That is a great looking pen!! I like the simplicity of the design. Great work!

Very unique and impressive. I like the look. Would you put a "hidden" clip on it so I know which is the nib end. Either way you point it it looks good. Nice work.

I like it. Well done. You won in my contest.

You know, I think it needs a nice matching wood clip, and otherwise it was one of my favorite entries! It is slim, elegant, great finish..- could boast about that pen all day

I'll try and get some pictures and stuff put together and post it. Guess I'll have to make another one to get the during pictures. What shame...:tongue:

But in the meantime, you do pull it apart to access the refill. The split is between the large black section and the main wood section.

A photo of it pulled apart would be great. I guess I just don't get how to do the tip. I've seen other 7mm pens on the forum without the tip hardware, but no explanations as of yet. Mainly, it's just a direction I haven't gone yet, but would like to go.
Thanks. Look forward to it.

Great looking pen. I love the contrast in colors between the woods.

You wanted people to think of your pen as the winkle?
