a purple pen
and never hoped to see one
But i'll tell right now
I'd rather make than be one[]
A dyed purple burl from WC on a Patriot pen kit.

Really nice looking pen Tom. I like the purple with that style pen and finish. Great Job!

Nicely done, Tom. Is that a chip-out down near the nib or is it black fill?

 

[cigarman]

Thanks
Its black fill Gary. The finish is BLO, CA, friction polish and TSW.

Nice pen.

Looks good. The color works well with the kit finish.

Tom, I want to start off saying that it looks great! You asked for critiques, and the two things that I see that are issues are that the clip and top don't quite look like they are pressed in well; it looks like there's a slight gap between the blank and the clip. Also, the finish looks more satin than gloss; is that intentional? I have trouble getting a gloss finish, so I don't have much room to talk!

Like I said though, it looks great! I am not a big fan of the Patriots generally, but that kit looks great with that wood. Now I'm starting to rethink my position!
