This was originally a custom order from a customer of mine that in the end he just didn't like. He thought he wanted an ink window on the pen, but when he saw it he thought it looked "off". So I offered to remake the pen body without a window and he loved it (see that pen here: http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/recent-commission-127296/).

So here's the "reject". I went ahead and finished out the pen for inventory.

Dimensions:

Capped: 6" ~ 152mm
Cap: 2 1/4" ~ 57mm
Body: 3 7/8" ~ 98mm
Body & Nib: 5 1/2" ~ 140mm
Posted: 6 1/4" ~ 159mm

Threads:

Cap/Body: 12x.08mm triple start
Body/Section: 10x1mm

Nib & Ink:

#6 Polished Steel Jowo - B
Cartridge/Converter/Eyedropper

I clicked on the link because the title made me think you were talking about me! I got to agree that the ink window looks "off", but the blank itself is awesome!

That is beautiful! I agree with your customer, though. The window takes away from the rest of the material.

I don't think I could ever get tired of looking at your blanks - such beauty in a small space.:)

well I like the window myself, maybe because I know it is added work, added skills to put that in rather than just one section of blank. If you are going to toss it out as a reject, I would send you my address. :) :)

Call me crazy but I like this one better than the other commission. I actually like the ink window and think it adds a design feature that breaks up the blue design.

Great job!

OK I lied. Don't call me crazy. :redface:
