Made these yesterday

[TonyL]

1. Spalted Hackberry Patriot (CA finish)
2. Green Ebonite Aero Click
3. Casein Vertex Supreme RB

I bought the Aero Click by accident. It appears to have a decent click-mechanism. Anyone else have a experience with it?

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the w/e.

love the RB.....classic looking.

and the Hackberry is sharp

The Casein is beautiful - a material I have on my list to try.

Very lovely pens, Tony !!!! . I especially love the Casein pen, but I am very partial to the Vertex Supreme. !!!! . Well done, my friend !!!

Nice group of pens Tony. The hackberry is my favorite.

I am considering trying the aero click, curious to hear what others think about it

Nice work Tony. I particularly like the vertex.

 

[TonyL]

Thank you. It took me 3.5 years to get to turning the casein. I always like the pic in the PSI catalog - just never did it. I found it to turn easily.
The hackberry was something that I was sure if I was going to like, but I did.
The ebonite was also nice, but as we know, my pics are need work.

I like using the cut offs to make Aeros. The sell great or make nice gift pens and don't cost very much.

Thanks for the compliments and feedback.

Wonderful group of pens Tony! I too am partial to the Vertex, I use the FP daily at my job, but that spalted hackberry is beautiful!

 

[TonyL]

Vertex Supreme

Thx Jay. I used to use the Vertex Supreme FP daily, but didn't like the nib and it is a difficult size to replace.

 

[Woodster Will]

All good but I particularly like the Ebonite Aero.

 

[TonyL]

Thx.

Nice looking group of pens Tony....and great variety! Nothing beats a Sunday afternoon turning session!

 

[kruzzer]

One thing to keep in mind if you aren't aware already is that casein will stain. I've turned several and always put a CA finish.

 

[TonyL]

Thank you. I didn't know that. What will it stain? I can disassemble. Thank you.

I have a huge hackberry tree in my backyard. Probably enough for about 10-15K blanks. I need to see if I can find an excuse to trim some limbs.
My complements on the nice pens.

 

[kruzzer]

Tony,
one thing that will stain it is Ink... particularly if its a fountain or using a gel type refill you can sometimes get some on you fingers. I've done several and the CA really makes those lines pop.

 

[leehljp]

I really like casein pens. I haven't yet seen one that I don't like. Yours is very nice as are the other pens too!

Thx Rick and Hank.
