Gentleman Jr .twist pen

[WoodChucker]

This is the other half of my first sale. The girl had me make this one for her husband. I dropped them both off today and she loved them. It's a Gentleman Jr. Twist Pen made from Russian Olive. Thanks for looking!

This looks great! I did not think Russian Olive would have this much figure.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Mike, I think it's a burl but I'm not sure.

[DCBluesman]

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! That's definitely a beautiful piece of Russian olive wood <b>burl</b> in a magnificently crafted pen. I bet you get a ton of repeat business!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Lou, and hope your right. []

R.T,

 

[Gary]

Very nice, R.T. Here's one for comparison that I did this weekend, and I know it to be Russian Olive Burl.

<br />

 

[woodpens]

Way to go, R.T.! That is one beautiful writing instrument! It looks absolutely flawless. That Russian Olive Burl is something else.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Gary, nice looking pen and I'd say mine must be a burl also, it looks like yours to me anyway. Either way it's a pretty wood.

R.T. another fine job, I think they will be very happy.

But I have a question for a lot of you. I've noticed that even though every catalog and web page that I've read calls these type of kits, Jr. Gentleman or Jr. Statesman why is it that most of you insist in changing the name to statesman Jr. or Gent. Jr.? Just something that I've been meaning to ask.

Could it be for the same reason you always refer to Enduro Poly when the manufacturer says ENDURO POLY?[}]

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Tom, glad I could help with your new purchase. []

Thanks Wayne, never really thought about it. I guess it's because Jr usually follows a sir name and it just sounds better to me. Didn't do it for that reason, just habit I guess.

Great looking pen RT . I looked at some Russian Olive wood a couple of weeks ago but it didn't have any nice grain to speak of .

 

[Tom McMillan]

Very, very pretty pen R.T. Nice combo--wood/kit!!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks guys!

R.T.

 

[its_virgil]

Cute zinger Gary! It would even be better if it were true. Enduro Poly is capitalized in title lines or beginning the sentence at Compliant's web site, but not in the body of a paragraph. BTW, I think Wayne was perhaps a little picky also.[]

On my quart-sized can it say ENDURO POLY[]

 

[wayneis]

Why am I being picky for asking a rather simple question. I don't know if you have better sales with the new name or if you don't like the givin name so I asked a question. Gary tries to be funny and William says that I am piky? Are questions not allowed here now?

Wayne

 

[DCBluesman]

Wayne, I call the pens Gent Jr or Statesman Jr because I view Gentleman and Statesman as the style and Jr as being a subset of the style. It's also easier for me to refer to them as "the Statesman and Jr", thus the slang usage of Statesman Jr. It's not a conscious thing. I just kind of fell into it. Or maybe it's because I'm Lou Metcalf, III. [8D]

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Don!

Ahhh...so sorry wayne. Of course you are allowed to ask a question. Are we not allowed to kid one another? Lighten up and go turn a pen[]

 

[wdcav1952]

Me, too, I was just trying to be funny and failed. Also, call it Jr. Gent, or Gent Jr., the main point is that R.T. made a great pen, and I apologize for detracting from the pen. Twenty lashes with 12,000 micro mesh for me!
