One for the ladies....

[marelton]

My first posting for a while now due to holidays. Must say I was glad to get back to the lathe.

I thought I'd have a go at my first custom finial while making a pen to appeal to the ladies (as all my stock is currently a little macho!)

The photo's dont really do the pen justice as it has a white pearl swirl that's not very visible, but it was fun to make.

I'd be interested in your comments as always.

Nice job. May I ask, where you got the blank? My Granddaughter has requested a pink pen. I've been looking and haven't seen any real pretty pinks. I like that one.

Nice work Martin, I would have photographed it on a darker background to bring out the white!

Paul,

I got the blank from Steve at Skiprat Pens, unfortunately he is no longer suppliying these. I believe they were sourced initially from either Ed4Copies or PR_Princess on IAP so they might be able to help and it should be better for you with carrage being the same side of the water!!

I must say I was in the same situation for a long time looking for pink blanks and these are fantastic, absolutely superb.

Hope this helps.

First, that is a gorgeous pens. I think the ladies might think it is too big.

And Paul, there is a blank called Asian Pink Coral Tru-Stone you can get off this site. Looks very similar to the blank here.

Steve,

Funny you should say that because my wife has always prefered slimlines, but as soon as she saw this she wanted it. So much for my stock!!

Very nice Baron/Navigator I think the size is perfect for a lady, the nib on either the fountain pen or the rollerball is just right, for most women.
