I'm glad you guys liked it. I made 5 more in different colors, but the photos are too high of a resolution and I'm lazy.

hahaha.
The secret is the Beall Penwizard.
I turned the blanks down to about 0.620" round, then faceted them on the Penwizard until about 0.480 width.
I then lap on a piece of granite, with 320, 400 and 600 wet sandpaper.
Then I use the Beall buffing system.
Check out the videos for the pens on instagram #robspenworks
I'll post more of the setup pictures next time I run one.
I do use a Foredom, because its easier to set the height.

Way cool pen. I'm envious and I agree with Hank, can't appreciate it unless I can see it up close and personal (that would be in my hand).

Sweet, and you are safe with the description... Not many will follow, but we can appreciate. Well done.

Nice looking pen, reminds me of the octagonal barrels on some vintage rifles and pistols.
This can also be done using a router on a sled using a depth guide and an indexable headstock.
