Nothing Special But High-end For Me

[JD Combs Sr]

Made a few higher end pens this week. A couple of them are for a pen exchange on the SMC site.

These are the two exchange pens. Both are PSI Tycoons in Platinum.

Dressed in BLM Burl


This one is for a customer order. He wanted it as a gift for his wife. It is a very large heavy pen, I sure hope she likes it, if she doesn't it would make a dandy weapon to help her explain to him what she does like.

It is a PSI "David Broadwell Art Deco" designer pen.

C&C always welcome.

Edit: If you notice the rainbow effect of the background of my photos it is because I messed with the "Save As Options" in my photo editor and got them screwed up. Compare the rainbows in all the photos to the next to last photo. I figured out what I had done and corrected it so the last photo is OK.

I'd often wondered what the difference was between the Tycoon and the Baron/Navigator, and I looked closely at your top two pens and found it. It's the Center band on the cap, Both pens look very nice, but I'm not sure what the BLM burl is, it looks a lot like Honduras Rosewood Burl, all 3 look well turned, and I do hope the Missus doesn't use the Broadwell as a weapon. (ouch)

Thanks for the comments. BLM burl is "Big Leaf Maple" burl. I didn't think it would look as good as it does. It darkened to a nice rich coloring considerably after applying the finish.

Lookin good! Yeah, Big Leaf loves oils, and it can be very surprising
when you feed it.
