[akbar24601]

Made this one for a friend. Her favorite color is purple. Figured the Purpleheart to be a wise choice. Segmenting is Aluminum and Brass. Custom finial is Aluminum. Finish is CA.

Thanks for looking. Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks Keith! That pen and design were all about NOT wanting to let me finish it. Shear persistence and I made it! Got to work on my vocabulary too!!!:biggrin:

Nice pen Steve someday would you please post just an average pen or even better screwed up mess, just so we know you are in fact human!!

 

[akbar24601]

Thank you all very much for your very kind words. I truly do appreciate them!!!

Nice pen Steve someday would you please post just an average pen or even better screwed up mess, just so we know you are in fact human!!

LOL! Oh Ken, if only you knew how human I am!!! Believe me, I have more screwed up messes laying around here than I know what to do with. I chalk it up to learning, maybe I just tell myself that to make me feel better!!!

As a matter of fact, this pen almost never made it to completion. I can't tell you how many times I had to pick up pieces and glue it back together again!!! Maybe I wasn't holding my tongue right! :tongue:

 

[Rollerbob]

Another nice one, Steve! Well done!

 

[PR_Princess]

Beautiful Steve! The metal is just right! I love the shape of this too...A great take on the closed end!

And to think that you just started doing these!!!
