Jr. Emporer with Antler

[Stevej72]

I've been selling quite a few pens made with antler so decided to try a Jr. Emporer. I think it is already sold, just waiting for customer to make final decision.

Methinks that your Emperor needs new clothing. While I do like antler in a 'proper' setting, this combo does not work for me. But, given the fact that you sold it, who am I to comment.[}]

I have to say that I think the EmpErOr in the Black Titanium would look better with antler. The gold Emperor kit, to me at least, is too dressy for the antler. Now if you had some Axis antler, that would seem to go better with the gold kit.

FWIW,

Hey everyone, Thanks for your comments. I wasn't sure how it would look with the antler. I figured I would put it together and see if it sold, I could always change it later.

Anyone know where I can get some Axis Antler?

Nice work steve!![][] I agree to some extent with Peter - The Emporers clothes need to be carefully chosen.[]

I'm a fan of antler. But that particular piece doesn't do it for me. Something about the brown and excessive marrow just looks yucky, IMHO. Sorry, hate to knock a well done pen.

Oh contrare [] I think the brown adds character though I agree it might have been a better overall look with black titanium. I'm a fan of both the pearly white antler and the earthtones when nicely turned - as this one is.

Steve,

Try Ebay for axis antler. I just bought a nice set of antlers for $25, including shipping. (Naturally I checked first and bought the best deal before posting! [])

BTW, since I am the resident spelling nut, it is spelled Emperor. [8D]

I have two pennies to add. I love the antler but... also I would have used the black t for the matching. I still like your work a lot but is not a 10.

Thanks everyone. I did go to Ebay and bought some Axis Antler. If my sale falls through I will see about changing the way the Emperor is dressed.

Apparently this was too subtle.[][][]

But I agree with Cav's review. (Twice in one week!!!)
