Twisted Stone

[PenWorks]

I cut rope patterns in a lot of material before, buy never twisted tru stone. If you do not mind the breakage and sanding, they come out nice. Ropes cut on a model 200 Legacy mill.

Thanks for looking and any comments.

[Marc Phillips]

Wow.... trying to think of something else to say, but "wow" is all I can think of!

Very nice Anthony, I could not imagine how long each one took you to hand sand. I remember the two wood ones we did on your lathe at the outing. I sanded those for days until I was satisfied.

Truth be told....I made 6 of them, liked they way they came out, so I made another 6. When I meassured the length I used a wrong tube, so to my surprise when I went to glue the tubes in, the last batch all were short, so I pieced a little black resin in, not a bad look. Blends in nicely, just the way I planned it []

Great looking pens as usual Anthony. I've found that the Sierra tube can be cut quite a bit shorter and still work just fine.

TRhey look really good, but I think I'm a fan more of the wooden ones than the stone ones. To me, the stone should be smooth and polished. Though I'm sure they'll sell no problem.

Nice work, Anthony, and very creative design changing.

 

[PenWorks]

Thanks for the comments.

Something I noticed about the rope twist pens, people either like them or they don't.

Never stop to get amazed at the rope pens. This are terrific, they soure look like a million bucks. It would be nice if you could sell one for that much []

Very nice save Anthony.

Beautiful work, too. The Sierra is one of the few styles of pens you can do that kind of fancy work on and still have a beautifully comfortable pen.

WOW![8D]

Very nice Anthony, I bet those things are heeeaaaavvvy! I like them.

Those are extra sharp!!- Chris

Interesting look, Anthony!!

I believe the rope pattern was actually accomplished on some marble columns in antiquity. You might be able to "form a story" around that and enhance their sale value. (Particularly the white).

Nice work, in ANY case,
