A Little Different

[igran7]

I wanted to try something a little different. This is a closed end Tobacco Swirl Gentlemen's rollerball. I shaved off 2/3 of the centerband, added my own finial on the top, and inlayed a couple of bullseyes on the two ends. I suspect this pen is not for everyone, so I may just end up keeping it for myself. Comments welcomed, thanks for looking.

I like it all but the bulls eyes don't do it for me.

Great looking pen! I love the bullseyes, maybe not with that blank, though. Awesome job on them, though, neat concept!

Very well done Joe , I love all the mods , but I have to agree about the Bulleyes ... abit to contrasty (? is that a word?) i think if they were made from the same stuff as the blank then they would work better

That is a very nice looking pen!

I like the reduced bling of your shaved down CB.

I tend to agree with the comments on the bullseye, if the colors were more in theme with blank or the hardware I would like them better.

I like the custom finial very much! The bullseyes work for me as well. Very nice job!

Wow!

That one really grabbed my attention. I normally do not like brown, but that is truly beautiful. Great execution, and I love the details.

I like the whole effect, It's a real show-off pen. I think I'll steal a few of your ideas.

I'm with the minority I guess, I like the complete package, I think the bulls eyes are right on the mark.. (pun intended)[)][)][)][)]
