THE pen!!!

[Drstrangefart]

This is the first pen I ever turned. I designed it for myself, because my hand got so extremely overdeveloped by manual labor and paperwork I snapped a lot of lesser pens. Even the larger more expensive ones. The weight and balance on it are like pudding. Sweeeeeet.....

Nice work! Remind me not to shake hands with you.

 

[Drstrangefart]

Thanks. I think????

He means you'd probably crush his hands lol

 

[Drstrangefart]

That's what I thought, but with my crowd, nothing ever doesn't get dragged into the gutter, especially when explaining why you wouldn't shake someone's hand. Just making sure I had my bases covered. That being said, I do get regular comments on the vise-like handshake. Landscaping does that. Think 8 hour isometric exercises for the hands, arms and shoulders 5 days a week.

that looks really cool i think.

That was a good way to modify a slimline kit. Very nicely done and that looks like a nice spaulted wood too. Pretty cool look and I am sure comfortable with someone with large hands.

Very nice!

That pen is awesome! For someone who has medium-large hands (size 18 ring) I could see how this pen would be very comfortable to write with.
Good job!

First pen and simi-kitless! Well done.

 

[Drstrangefart]

Thanks. The extra weight on the back end makes it really smooth to write with. It is definitely not gonna be sold off.

Great first pen!!

It's a nice looking pen for sure. Although I don't like the pen too bulky, I am not you, and I particularly like the shape and flow of your pen.

 

[Drstrangefart]

Thanks again. I do want to start working that shape habitually as it's gotten a lot of I MUST OWN THAT from people I show it to. I made another one called Bird of Paradise in the same vein, but with a much better coat of gloss. Need practice on that particular shape.
