I like the blank but would be interested to see it on a black tube like you say. I bet it makes the colours pop more.
It has the wrong non postable end cap if I'm not mistaken. Looks more like the one off Gent.

That is a stunning pen Dan. I really like the blank. Great fit and finish, well done.
I think it's a great looking pen, Dan! I've been messing around with the gold, silver and copper metal flake for a while now. It's a tough nut to crack. I keep getting too much flake and not enough resin… big problem when it comes time to finish it.
I like the blank a lot

Looks good Dan. Looks better than my attempt. I have a few of those blanks. I had fits coming up with a paint color/combination to paint the hole. I came up with a couple of mixes that would have looked good, but then the thickness of the paint (I had added some stuff to it) became a problem . . . For my next attempt with these (which may never happen) I was going to glue some type of gold or silver foil/tape to the tube and drill the hole a smidge larger.

Dan those are sweet looking pens. I've not made any with ask copper. Like you I'm not sure about the silver tubes but really like the razor with black. I've cast a lot of blanks out of a mixture of gold, silver and copper leaf as well as all gold and all silver. I've tried reverse painting different colors and always come back to black. It gives the most illusion of depth. Nonetheless these pens are flawless and someone will live them! Keep up the fantastic work.

The black painted tube is a huge improvement, really makes the colour pop.

I used a finial from the jr gent 2 kit. It's tapered a little bit. I don't care for the stock shape very much not tapered at all. This one doesn't look perfect either.
