Ok, I've got the baron mandrel from Fangar (Thanks Fangar)
I just recieved an orer of blanks from Dario :D
(Some beautiful wood. Been drooling since I got home.) [:p]
I have gotten my shipping notice from BB that my first baron's are on the way.
Any advice that you good people can offer on the shape of a closed end baron. I was thinking that I would like to make it a pen that can stand-up. (not sure the official name for this style) Are there weight considerations due to the clip? or is it negligible?

TIA
Marc

AH HA!
That's where I got the Idea!![:p]
That is what I was looking to do, only the other way around. where the pen stood with the cap in the air.

BTW. How are thing in Dayton? Used to live in Page Manor.

I just finished my first closed-end Baron (I'll post pics as soon as I take them) and I noticed that the cap end is quite a bit heavier than the pen end. I think without the extra pieces on the end, the pen is lighter than a regular baron. You migh have top-heavy issues unless you make the base quite large. The pen itself is actually quite light and comfortable to write with.
