This is the pen l have been working for the last week or so its a Sierra made from alt ivory. l had some very challenging moments!making this pen.which was good for my brain!l really like the alt ivory it turns great and finishes great.So l have ordered more alt/ivory from ED!l would also like too enter this pen in ED'S Ivory contest
l wish l had more time to explain the pen a bit better l will do that when l get back from my dads, at the moment l need too spend as much time as l can with him as He is a very sick with bowl cancer,
anyway here are some photos.

I hope your dad's condition improves.

When you post more info I would like to know more about the clip. Was it a stock clip or did you make that also(if so, how)?

GREAT PEN!!!

John, you're a tease! I saw this pen on the front page under the new photos section yesterday! I've been waiting for you to post it :D Great work! Having just been partially successful at something similar I can relate to the challenging moments. You pulled it off nicely. The red accents in the clip and finial are very classy. Well done!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dad.
