Firsts

[DCBluesman]

Ok, this is my first pen and my first photo. Used a friend's digital camera while tapping a couple. The pen is two months old, used everyday. Cocobola (Duh!), slimline (Duh!), shellac and carnauba finish, topped with Renaissance (okay, probably not TOTALLY obvious!). Hey! At least I lined up the grain pretty well for a first-timer. Obviously the finish could use a LOT of work, which I've been doing. But it's held up fairly well to some intense use

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing more. The finish looks great.

Those look very nicely done, DC. You may consider adding those pics to your album as well so they don't get archived off too quickly.

The first pic makes it look like there is no clip - although there is. I'm wondering if that might be a good thing to try and market them to ladies to put in their wallets/purses. I might have to try that.

Great job. Keep it up.

I make most of my slimlines without the clip. It seems that in my market, most ladies don't want them. But they DO want a nice little velvet pouch so the pen doesn't get junked up in their purses.
