Red Mallee Roman Harvest (and box)

[mb007]

This is the last of the five pens I made for a charity auction for my church's food pantry, which is good because my fingers are getting tired of typing! :biggrin: It's a Rhodium w/ Gold Ti accent Roman Harvest kit from Timberbits, dressed in Red Mallee from isaacrapelje. Finish is CA (12 coats thin followed by 12 coats medium), and sanded through 12,000 MM. The box is made from mystery wood given to me by my father. It's been sitting in a shed at home for about as long as I've been alive (~30 years). My best guess is crotch walnut, but I'm open to other opinions!

Absolutely stunning pen, IMHO. I love the red mellee and the kit you used. Roman Harvest are not always my fav, but the combo you put together is fantastic. Very cool box as well, especially with the history behind it. Great, great job.

Hopefully your church members have some deep pockets. A worthy cause and a worthy pen to raise alot of funds for it.

Thanks Roger! I have to give credit for the plating choice to my wife though. I planned on using the mostly-gold components for this pen, and the mostly-silver parts with the Brown Mallee pen. I'm glad I listened to her - this is my favorite (of my own pens) so far!
