Here's a recent commission that I finished. I'm super happy with how it came out. It's made from Mazzucchelli "Black Granite" Cebloplast, and silver alumilite that I poured with my good pal Bmachin a few weeks ago. The clip is handmade from nickel silver. It has my usual 9 facets and single start square threads for consistent cap-body facet alignment. Thanks for looking!

Wow, that is WELL done! GREAT!

It has been almost 2 years since I asked you about your clips. I am still going to try one day. That clip looks NICE on that pen!

Fabulous pen!!
I like that you have an implemented an uneven number of facets. The eye tries to find symmetry as would be found with an even number of facets. This pulls you in for a closer look! Good call on the single start threads.

Thanks! Everyone else who does facets seems to do 6 or 8, so i figured 9 would be a nice distinguishing number.

Superb work. I love the facets and clip, but the blank combination is also a winner.

Thanks for sharing.
