Three New Pens for a Custom Order

[Glen Schumann]

One of my regulars wanted three pens made with specific request for the materials.

They are a Statesman Desk Pen in Gold and figured Mahogany, a Southwest Pen in Antique Pewter and Southwest Color Grain and an Olynpian Elite II in spalted Tamarind.

I used BLO on each in an attempt get the figure and color to pop more than with just a WTF finish. It was not as successful as I had hoped.

The Southwest is a very substantial pen with a good deal of heft. I like it. It did have a small machining problem that required some drill work to fix which I will report to PSI. The refill would not fit through the part to which the transmission threads until I worked on it.

The Olympian is a lightweight mostly plastic pen, but the spalted Tamarind looks good with it.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the order Glen! Great looking pens. I like the southwest! I've been thinking about trying that kit.

Nice order Glen, and I know that the Customer specified what he wanted.
The Statesman Desk Top, in Figured Mahogany is Terrific.
The Southwest Pewter, in Southwest Colour Grain, is not to my conservative taste. The pewter pen is fairly busy in it's own right, and the Southwest Colours Grain, pushes it over the top.
The Olympian Roller Ball, in spalted Tamarind, looks somewhat under stated. The Olympian, IMHO requires a Stronger, Bolder Coloured Blank, to match the strength of the Kit.
As I mentioned, I know the Customer stated what he wanted, and you have fulfilled his requirements Beautifully.
My comments are based on my Taste, and could be way off with a lot of people.
Congratulations,
Brian.
