After seeing Ken Ferrell's Amboyna Gent, I was inspired to try a custom finial.

Bob, that's a great looking pen. The blank goes so well with the kit and the custom finial looks great.

That is really nice. I gotta try that finial thing.

Awesome marriage of plating and blank, the custom finial adds a touch of class!

I agree with Mark.. Very nice combination of blank and plating... It reminds me of a 1957 Chevy, very Classy! And the finial, PERFECT touch!

Thanks for sharing
Dave

Ah.. 57 Chevy! I knew that color was tickling the brain for some reason..

I like it. When I saw it the other night I went looking through the library
to see if someone had hints & tips on making a custom finial, but I didn't
find anything in the way of articles. Plenty of great examples.
I could wing it, but has anyone seen any articles on it?

After seeing Ken Ferrell's Amboyna Gent, I was inspired to try a custom finial.[/quote] Hi Bob; That is some gorgeous pen and deserves to be the Featured Photo. Now I have to figure what I have to do to get back there.

Can someone show me how to make a custom finial!!

 

[NewLondon88]

Ah.. thanks Bruce! I didnt run across that when searching. THe bushing
makes sense.

Mack, follow that link!

I didnt put an apostrophe in the words didnt because when I try to type
an apostrophe, for some reason it opens the search function in my browser.
I dont usually skip them..
