I was asked to stop, so I did. Guess some people just couldn't handle the heat.

Russell.

Were you talking about trash? Or something else? If this is about trash talk, shouldn't we talking about trash?:rolleyes:

Couldn't handle the heat?? Yea, I guess trash would get a bit rank if you add too much heat.

Now we've got the guy from Florida, who jumps out of perfectly good airplanes with 2 pens that make me dizzy looking at them, my best guess is he designed them on a free fall as he was twisting in the air and that finish......oh my mistake thats not a finish, Keith why don't you take the pens apart so you can put a finish on them.

Keith, those are very nice pens you just posted, just never understood WHYyyyyyyyy someone would take a perfectly good pen blank and cut it all up, just so he could glue it back together showing all the glue lines :eek:

I knew it was a trap :biggrin:

For your information, there is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane! That's why you gotta jump out of them!





In case you didn't recognize it, that there in the background of the pictures is sunshine and blue skies :wink:

Not every pen has to have the ink INSIDE a brass tube.

What was your entry again? I've forgotten already. Musta been great.

Olive Wood

A couple of shots of an Olive wood founten pen...Posted and Unposted. The good folks where I have pens on display took the photos. My intent is to convert to either black&white or grey scale and incorporate in My logo. Figured I'd go ahead and enter them. Just a standard kit but "I" think the Wood and Finish are supurb.

Refill goes here DUH.

Square threads on cap close with less than 1/2 turn due to positive stop inside cap that mates against the first step on the nib.

No glue on the feeder. Made a tap to match original threads.

Brass accent band made from solid rod.

Number of kit parts used? 0

No offense Chuckie, even if I dug out my bell bottoms, beads and flowers......
All the love in the world wouldn't help that pen :) Well I take that back, about 20 bong hits might help :biggrin: where is Michael Phelps when you need him.

I'm just the photographer here. The real work was done by the usual gang from Michigan - Glenn McCullough, Jeff Powell, and Gary Nicholls.

What's up with that Marc, Your buddies in Michigan afraid to come out and play, they send you to do their dirty work. This is a foul. Disqualified :mad:

Dear Mrs Robinson, that was some pretty bad detective work, if you look closely (which I know is hard at your age judging by the gaps in your pens) this is a different pen. The pen you dug up form the past was sold the next day. You can tell by the cap, The ebonite is clearly cut differently as I make no two pens the same. It is a shame your cousin from Olklahoma jumped on your band wagon. Nothing but a public appology from you both will do.

Yet another old timer who can't read the rules. Thought I saw this before - BUSTED.

Let them enter their OWN pens then .
I say Jeff should pull one of his pens to keep it fair .... how about squishy fish pants ?
What about everyone else , what do you have to say about this ? , I will follow majority rule .

Ok here's my second entry . It's another paperclip/billy club but this time with a twist . I know there's nothing new under the sun but I can't remember ever seeing a pen like this . This is a pen I call Twindows (Twist Windows).
It is made from some East Indian Rosewood and Curly Maple with a CA finish , some Brass and aluminum and a cigar transmission with a parker type refill .
It is unique in that you operate the pen by twisting the inner barrel (the Curly maple part) to extend or retract the refill . It works very smoothly and has a nice feel to it , even though it's a little long . The refill is replaced by unscrewing the nib . :biggrin::tongue::biggrin:

As always , comments welcome

As if it was not bad enough that I was up late trying to finish this pen in time, our camera ran out of go juice and I could not find the charger. I used the backup instead. All of the resins in this pen came from Ed and Dawn at exoticblanks.com (thanks for the red and gray storm they were perfect). The finial has a sterling silver Aztec calendar embedded in it and the silver bands are polished aluminum tubing.

The pen is my interpretation of the Delta Adivasi pen. I wish I could have modded the clip!
