Majestic Pen and Big Ben

[ProPens]

These are my two most recent pens. The Majestic is made from Olive Wood and has a coating of CA glue. The Big Ben Cigar Pen is rhodium plated and the material used was Tru Stone Marble. Tell me what you think of them. This is still my first half year of pen making and I am still pretty new at this so criticism is always a good thing.

Very nice pair, nice work.

Two very nicely done pens. For your first half year, you are doing well.

It's hard to tell on the Big Ben, need to work on the photo skills. But what I can see looks nice.

That was my reaction as well.

Think I would have looked for a more impressive blank to pair with the Majestic. that is a pretty expensive for such a plain blank.

My thoughts exactly, plus the Cigar "Big Ben" is already a heavy pen without adding the weight of a Tru-Stone blank!

Thanks

Yea thanks for the suggestions. The person who special ordered the big ben wanted it really heavy and that is what he wanted. I agree on the wood though. I should have used a stabalized wood. That would have been better.

Or a more heavily grained Holy Land Olive (BOW) so it catches the eye more.
