Just in time for the 4th

[Brooks803]

And I don't mind if it stays on my desk for the next couple months! This was my 1st full size Gent and I really like it. It was a bit tricky turning the body bc I don't have the correct bushings (only majestics) and I had to over turn one end to get the correct fit. The blank is one of my creations. Each year for the 4th of July I make a flag themed blank and I love how this one came out. The finish is my usual, MM to 12000 and polished with PlastX. I had alot of fun with this one and I hope yall enjoy it too. Thanks for looking and as always any comments/critiques are appreciated!

Can't forget a closeup! (kicking myself for not cleaning the pen well enough!)

So niiice! Beautiful blank as usual and your photography is outstanding. Just turned the "free" blank you sent with my previous order and it turned out nice as well. Best wishes.

Jonathan you are a showoff I really like that blank. Great blank. I would also like to know if you are making more of these???

 

[wiset1]

So dynamic! The flow and energy in this blank really POP off the screen and I love how crisp the colors are. Really great looking blank Jonathon!!!

 

[simomatra]

Just awesome, you have to be very pleased with that one

 

[S.A.Mappin]

Very nice Brooks!!

I have yet to try a full size Gent, Looks like a very comfortable sized pen.

She's a real beauty!

 

[MarkD]

Awesome pen! The blank is superb...as we have come to expect from you!

 

[Jim15]

That's beyond awesome.

 

[rizaydog]

Truly cool pen.

 

[edicehouse]

Like everyone else has stated awesome pen. The lines between colors are distinct. The only thing . . . is the gold band on the cap, for me that one thing distracts from the blank. But I know 99.9% will not agree with me on that

Awesome pen Jonathon! I really like that you kept kit simple on this one as there is a lot going on in the blank... Very, very, nice work!

 

[johncrane]

Jonathon!
Your 4 July mix is one of your best! a keeper for sure :biggrin:

 

[Bobalu]

Wow! Deja vu

That is absolutely beautiful Jonathon. Looks a lot like the blank you gave me last week, but upon closer inspection I can see there is a difference in micas used. Here's how mine turned out. Thought you might want to see.

 

[PTownSubbie]

Nice Jonathon!

Is that the one you poured while I was there? You have to slow down a little so I can catch up!!

 

[JimB]

Wow, that is one cool blank and pen. I love it!

 

[Whaler]

All I can say is AWESOME!

 

[renowb]

WOW! Did I say WOW!

 

[PenMan1]

Nice looking pen, Jonothan. The photos are spectacular as well.

 

[Brooks803]

Thanks everyone! I always appreciate the feedback. I'm glad I put this on the Gent as well. A full size statesman would have been awesome too, but I don't have any. All my other large kits were way too ornate for the blank.

I thought the same thing at first, but the american flag is outlined in gold so I thought it would be fitting with the gold trim. I don't think there is anything I could have turned that would have been an appropriate replacement.

Nice Jonathon!

yes sir it is! it was one of the 4 blanks I poured in the time you did 2 :wink::tongue::biggrin:

Slow down???? Nah...I gotta keep you on your toes!

 

[Richard Gibson]

I am running out of words to express myself....wow...beautiful...excellent...masterpiece...so suffice it to say that is just gorgeous!!!!! Got any for sale?

 

[arw01]

+1 and still need to pick my jaw up off the floor. Absolutely stunning!

When can we expect some more in Dawn's store? I've been checking...

 

[EarlD]

Jonathan, that's just stunning!

I bought the red/white/blue blank that came out of the mold about break time at the meeting in Atlanta. Hope it looks like this.

Earl

Yes Earl, it should be very much like this one. After I turned mine I was trying to remember who it was that got the other. Now I know :wink:. Enjoy it!

 

[seamus7227]

You are absolutely insane!!! I picture you when you are making these blanks much like you could imagine Mozart directing an orchestra playing his music. These are sure to sell out in minutes upon being posted for sale!!!
