I'd like to have a Rose Engine...

...but I'd rather keep my wife.

In the absence of a rose engine, I've tried some engraving with the CNC mill in a herringbone-like pattern. The barrel and section are nickel silver, the cap is ebonite. It's beefy, but I like a heavier pen. Thanks for looking.

That is just beautiful. Great job.

Yet more evidence that we need a "Wow" button. Neat! Russ

More in the line of a Straight Line Engine, but I like it better than the Rose Engine stuff.

Cool

That is a great pen! The lines are beautiful. Is that stainless?

Awesome pen.

Great vision Doug. I'm anticipating more of these type of style. Nice work.

Here's one way to get one. I've had the plans for years, someday I may even build one!

Bouught my Rose Engine over a year ago and have yet to use it. This makes me want to get going on it.

It's a particularly tough piece of nickel silver -- harder to machine than other alloys I've tried.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone!
