USMC General's Pen

[SteveAxelrod]

After considering everyone's input and looking at every blank I could find on the internet, I'm going to use the Bald Eagle Insignia Flag Bolt Action Antique Pewter Pen Kit as I agree that a rollerball can become tedious to use for daily use.

I've attached my "short" list of blanks and anyone interested in offering an opinion as to which one they'd use would be very welcome. You can see they fall basically into two color schemes.

I may actually make one pen in each of the color schemes.

Thanks for everyone's input!!

It's really a personal taste thing. But I like the Lava Lamp (middle one). I think it would go well with the pen. But it's only my personal taste opinion.

I'd have to agree with Curt, I'd go for the lava lamp blank as well

What about the Kirinite Patriot blank? I recently turned one and was really impressed with it. In addition to the red, white, and blue, it also has some pearl in it.

I like the swirled slate, but I also really like the kirinite that jim posted too.
