Very fine work all around. I'd like to know your process for securing the clip on the modified slimline. It looks like there is no seam there, so my best guess is that you trimmed off the ring part of the clip and secured the remaining tab in a slot on the upper barrel. How'd ya do that? How'd you machine that slot? It looks like that piece of wood has that clip growing right out of it.
Very nice pens!

Great Pens, Dan.
Beautiful Buckeye Burl, with excellent closed end. Regretably your phototgraph, doesn't show the entire pen clearly.
Love the Segmented Antler, Terrific contrast with the Walnut, Superb fit and Finish.
Spectacular modified Cigar and Outstanding Brooks Blank.
A Most Credible Trio.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Thanks Brian.
I posted another pic. My photos are sonewhere south of mediocre bit have a real camera. I regret not putting a real ca finish on the slim rather than the satin polish of the stabilized buckeye.
This was the first year I entered any contests. No platings in the pen contests. I've only had a year of pen making so maybe next year will be more competitive.

Maybe it's just my eyes, but it looks like you aced it. I don't see anything that resembles a drilled hole or reaming with a coping saw blade! I'm going to have to try that when I get home.

Thanks - it came out surprisingly good for a first effort. I finished fifth - just outside the prizes. It was good timing to console my son who finished 4th in his pinewood derby race yesterday - no trophy. :-(
The hole is not perfect. It is a little but too wide on the right side. Not anything bad, but my pics hide it.
I'd like to try the method is using a thin wood burner tip once I get one.

All my pen entries.
. It would cut down on the sympathy vote to post a winning photo. Ha

As the father of 2 sons, your photo gives you more sympathy from me than any number of non-winning pen entries...:biggrin:

All fine pens Dan. I especially like the antler with the walnut rings. Outstanding.

Pinewood derby! You just brought back some great memories. I always had the upper half of a Lego man driving. Never won, I think too much drag
Back on topic, really nice pens, the antler is my favorite of all of them, the segmenting compliments the antler very well. Good job on all though

A beautiful set of pens. All winners in my book. Great fit and finish on all of them.
