Another so so pen

[ctEaglesc]

So I'll put it here instead
Sycamore and Eagalized"elusive blue" Baron

Eagle,
In the picture the blue almost looks like it changes colors depending on the position of the pen. Meaning it gets darker and lighter as the pen moves. Is this the case?
This pen would look good on a Satin Nickle kit as well. Nicely done!

Doesn't look so-so to me. Nice as always.

Nice to see that you are trying other "lipstick" now [][].

Ron the blue and also the sycamore have chatoyance but how are you moving the pen through your monitor.[^]

 

[Ron Mc]

Actually I'm testing a new type monitor for a company and I have enjoyed writing with your pen now for several minutes[] Don't worry I'll put it back when I'm done.

Geez, I wish my "so-so" pens looked that nice.

 

[rtjw]

wow, that is better (or is that worse) than the other one![]

I like this one too Eagle. But, again, I have to tease you and tell you that it looks like you're trying to emulate some of the acrylics! Of course, I'm very impressed with the precision with which you're able to make the "lines" in these blanks, and the smoothness of the curves. Very nicely done!

Good answer, Ron.
Great pen, Eagle.

So so my Aunt Fannie!

Actually Jim I am going full circle.
I think the Acrylics are copying The Creators heanenly work on burls but are doing it in colors.
I actually like the appearance of acrylices, but I can buy an acrylic pen anywhere.
To make a wood pen look like it is an acrylic that mimic a wood one to beging with, now that's an accomplishment.!

 

[JimGo]

Eagle,
I actually remember your original remark about the burl resemblance, that's why I had to tease you about this latest set of blanks and their resemblance to some of the acrylics! [] I agree about being able to buy <u>AN</u> acrylic anywhere; but <u>MY</u> acrylic/PR pens aren't quite as prolific (at least not yet - world domination is only my long-term goal []).

Another beaut Eagle.

I really like this one Eagle. The colors work well, I am partial to sycamore though.
Nice pen and no reason not to be in SOYP.

 

[Woodnknots]

Great pen, as always Eagle. I have a question though. What method do you use to line up your grain when you assemble your barons? Slimlines and the like are easy, but I've had bad luck with threaded pens lately. I'm just looking for some guidance.

Not my best as indicated by the description of the forum.
(I will let a "pretty good" one slip through though every once in a while)

The baron is easy.Cap it and just twist till it is right.
Everything turns in the fitting.( you glue you're screwed)

Dave--assemble the lower barrel as per the instructions. Screw the centerband/coupler assembly onto the lower barrel. Place the upper barrel over the coupler and align either by eye or with a straight edge. Gently press the cap down onto the coupler, then unscrew the upper barrel/coupler/centerband from the lower barrel. Finish pressing the coupler/centerband assembly into the upper barrel, then press in the cap. This is a four-start thread, so the alignment will only work with one of the four starts.

So so? Hideous is more like it. Eagle, you should probably send it to me so I can dispose of it properly. Wouldn't want it frightening the writing public. [}][]

There is nothing so-so about your work.
