Statesman BOW Cocobolo Herringbone

[Kaspar]

One of Neil's Herringbones. I was either going to put it in an Imperial or a Statesman. The Statesman used more of the blank. I'm especially pleased with how I cut just the right amount from the middle so the pattern continues correctly past the CB.

 

[mbroberg]

Your attention to detail paid off. The blank is awesome and you did an exceptional job with it.

 

[boxerman]

Super nice looking pen.

[Kaspar]

Thanks, folks!

Yeah, in the end, only the Statesman would do. It was a pricey blank, requiring a pricey kit, but it's also the main interest of the pen, so you want a good, but understated, kit.

I'm curious as to why the finish doesn't show up a little better in the pictures. In the sun, it's positively liquid.

Here it is open:

If I hadn't laid out so much for the blank, and gone off budget to do so, I might consider it. But I've got to recoup some of that cost.

Outstanding work and finish on that one. The blank almost didn't go up for sale, I really liked it.

The combination of woods and the overall pattern and plan were spot on. Great blank. I liked your rainbow one too, but this one was too hard to resist.

 

[Bree]

First class pen. Superior.

 

[YORKGUM]

Wow. Beautiful. I want it.

 

[Buzzzz4]

Again, fantastic pen. Did you take out insurance on the blank when you were turning it? I can't imagine have that many pennies on the line. Well done!

 

[soligen]

Very nice. And nice touch on making the pattern flow through the CB!

 

[PR_Princess]

Sorry I missed this one earlier. But I'm sure glad that I saw it now!
What a beauty of a pen Eric!!! Just too stunning for words! Please pardon me while sit and drool over this one for a while..:tongue:
