Those are both really beautiful pens Lou. I especially like the Maple Leaf.[]

 

[Ron Mc]

Both are nice. But.....Feather? Tell us. Did you make a feather blank?

 

[wdcav1952]

Lou,

Very nice, as usual. Number me among the ones curious about the feather pen.

 

[Tom McMillan]

Beautiful pens Lou!!![]

I'd like to see the feather pen on it's side. I am sure it looks great but it is hard to see with a front view. Very cool Idea!

 

[Rifleman1776]

That feather thing. [?] Show more, explain please. Watizzit?

 

[vick]

Very nice I also want to know about the "feather" it loks like copper wire to me.

Thanks for the views and comments. As for the feather, I don't know what more to say. It's actually four feathers. The tubes are coated in white epoxy, feathers applied, lacquer build up, then micro-meshed with a final of TSW. Here's a side view.

Great looking pens. The feather pen is that your version of a Quill?[]

 

[woodpens]

Great looking pens, Lou. Ken really opens up the possibility with his engraver and ingenuity. The feather is a very unique idea. That will certainly generate some pen discussions!

Those are both very nice, but I especially like the feather. I tried that on a cigar pen a few weeks ago and discovered that feather do not like CA. I knew what would work exactly but was impatient so I tried CA. The feathers lifted off the blank. I need to get back to that and do it right the next time. What kind of feathers are those? I've been a fly tyer for better than 30 years so I have lots of feathers.

Brilliant job on the feather, Lou. I like the maple leaf pen too, and it looks great, but the feather is clever and something else that's hard to come up with after a while, it's DIFFERENT!

I also happen to do some birding (aka bird watching) from time to time (when I can pull myself away from the lathe) and I imagine this would appeal quite a bit to birders, especially if you could use feathers from a known species and present it that way, IOW a Red-Tailed Hawk pen, or a Hooded Oriole pen....

Get right on that, wouldja? LOL

Excellent job. []

[ldimick]

Outstanding! The feather is a nice idea and execution.

 

[woodpens]

Hmmm... Come here, Malibu! This won't hurt a bit. []

Whatchu talkin' about, Willis?
