Pen Swap for texasbatons

[ashaw]

This is what I came up with for Brian (texasbatons). It is my first attempt at anything closed end. It is a churchill that has bee step drill. Still need to work on the taper a bit more so that the cap posts better.

Hope you like it brian.

Just been mailed out.

Wow! Very cool! That's one beautiful pen. Can't wait to see it in person.

Here's the pen for Alan that I put in the mail this morning. My first attempt at a rollerball.

Jr Gent II (I like the kit). The wood is pecan (state tree of Texas). The body of the pen has an inlay of black cherry that was from a tree felled by Katrina 2 years ago today. The lining between the layers is aluminum (a cleaned up Coke can). CA/BLO finish.

Hope you like it, Alan. It surely can't compete with your pens, but I enjoyed the email exchanges during the past few weeks and learned a few things along the way!

(I would've had larger photos, but the pics are on my home computer.)
