Where's my pen?

[MattDaddy]

Don't think I'll hear that about this one! It almost hurts your eyes it is so bright. Thanks Dawn!

A lesson learned on the segmented pen - it was an experiment, so I didn't use one of my premium kits - go figure it turned out, and now I have a great looking blank on a crappy kit. Guess it's better than ruining a premium kit with a screw up (like I did on another one yesterday).

Nice looking pens, Matt! What did you use for the stripes in your segmented pen?

Great group of pens.

Matt,
Nice selection of pens you have there. Is that the Alchemy blank (2nd pic)? Looking good.

 

[MattDaddy]

The stripes in the segmented pen are dyed veneer (Bold Colors) from Woodcraft. They work great for this type of thing.

I think the second pen is Alchemy - it was a freebie from a top secret exotic blank manufacturer ;-)

Very nice group of pens. Matt.

Is that the Florescent Lime Green? I have one of those to make a fountain pen from as soon as get a kit to put it on.

 

[MattDaddy]

It is. Wear your sunglasses! Also would recommend painting the tube, as this is VERY transparent. I used a chrome tube and can still see some bubbles and glue. A coat of white on the tube or in the blank will make it even brighter!

That is one bright pen, I like it. The other two are also up to your usual high standards. Nice work, keep em comming.

Very nice work Matt!!

I don't understand the bit about ruining a premium kit with a screw up. Buy an extra set of tubes for under a dollar, try the blank, and if you don't like the results don't assemble the kit.

I agree with Cav 100%, I must have 20 to 25 turned blanks that didn`t make the grade, saves a lot of expensive `workshop pens` being made.

You made a great job of those pens pictured, well done!

Nice group! I'll have to check in to the colored veneer. Thanks for sharing.
