Penworks has done it again....look

[woodscavenger]

I was browsing through the photos and look what I found.

Very well done. I love the look . there are so many woods that would look terrific with that style. Give us the scoop on how you did this. Enquiring minds want to know.

I agree Shane, that is a wonderful looking pen.

Great looking pen Anthony. DW put an article up on the Home Page I believe on how to do this style several months ago.

Can't slip nothing buy you guys []

The main pen body had a hole just large enough to hold the converter, drilled all the way till 1/4 inch from the end. Drilled another hole about 1/4 inch long to accept the brass tube. Cut the brass tube 1/4 inch and CA in. These messurements are not exact, I'm at the office with no messuring tools. Turned the pen body using a drill chuck since I don't have a Beal collet. The ebonite cumberland is sweet amterial to work with. That's it. I have seen several made this way, Vick had a nice mesquite one and there was a red bowling ball material done by ??

Anthony, this could very well be one of my favorite pens I've seen you make, nice job!

Beautiful pen, Anthony !

Did you chuck the barrel in the drill chuck, or use a pin chuck in the drill chuck? Oh, chucks ....

 

[PenWorks]

Chanks for askin []
I used the mini pen mandrel that I purchased for making the CS pocket pen. I chucked that small mandrell in the chuck and slid the bushing for the statesmen on it and then snugged the tail stock.

Thanks for the comments

For those closed barrels a pin chuck can also be used. Look at the bottom of this page:

It can be made from a bolt, aluminum rod, or even hardwood.

I wish I could take credit Anthony but I do not have anything nearly that nice as a pen like yours in mesquite. Or are you talking about another Vick

Those are very nice looking pens Anthony.
I love that Cumberland, and it is easy to get a nice deep finish on it.
