Multi-Segmented Dymondwood Pen

[t001xa22]

I really enjoy trying to be creative with what is actually a very basic pen style. The profile may seem a little "busy", but it sure adds to the grip of the pen, and is not something I have seen very often. Maybe a good thing; maybe not. This is a basic gold Slimline Twist, with Olympia Dymondwood blank. Comments please.

Im not too sure about the shape Bill It does look very busy.

I do like the Dymondwood

It's not bad. I like the wood. The ribs give the grain a bit of extra surface to play on.

Nice. There's a pen for everybody. I love the wood.

I like it! There is something about 'angles' that make or break a pen's design. Those seem coordinated in a good way. I used to play with angles and noticed that a change of 1/2 of a degree in angle, plus the location/spacing made the difference in a "so-so or iffy" design versus a very good looking design.

I believe that it will sell.

Thanks to all for the comments. I guess I do have to lean toward Lupe's side in that yes, the barrels are "busy" with grooving. This was something I was doing when I first started to practice some shaping techniques. I try not to get so carried away nowadays. I posted this pen as a contrast to the otherwise beautiful pens I see the others put on the site.
