Here's a pen I just completed. It is zirconium metal like the last one I made, but this one has a continuous fade of anodizing. I had to rework my anodizing setup to be able to get the whole thing in at once. I'm waiting on the gold nibs to arrive. :)

They all are top notch without a doubt. But I am not a fan of the fade to color one. I like both the various colored one the best and the black and silver one the next. If you are looking for a vote. The colored ones look more like a puzzle piece as the two tone look like just shapes or designs.

Stunning pens Bruce. If you're looking for a vote, I prefer the plain pens to the colored ones. Although it's probably not correct to use the word "plain" in a sentence about your pens :)

Bruce,

Your work is simply beautiful! You are among a handful of people here on IAP that set the bar so high most of us will never come close. While having the specialized equipment is necessary for this kind of work, there is also the artistic element that can't be purchased. Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Those are all pretty amazing, but I think the fade is my favorite.

Thanks for keeping the bar high (I don't think I can even see it from down here :))
