Phoenix Sea Sponge

[qquake]

Yet another Phoenix pen, in gunmetal. The blank is a Woodshed called Sea Sponge. I didn't know if I'd like the light colored blank with the dark gunmetal kit, but I think it looks classy. Another great Woodshed blank!

I agree. I think the combination of blank with the gun metal looks great!

I almost lost this one. The chisel dug in during final shaping. I really need to learn to lighten up. But with some careful chisel work, and lots of wet sanding, I was able to save it.

I like it. One thing I like about pen making is seeing stuff (mostly blanks) that I don't really like for one reason or another, then putting it on a pen and bein made to like it. Basically, I don't like that green BUT on that pen, I'd own it.

I really like the Phoenix kits. Can you tell?

I agree. This particular shade of green is certainly not my favorite. But with the subtle figure in it, and in combination with the pen kit, I really like it.

I think the kit and the blank are quite complimentary. I think you took a chance and the result is nice!
