Chip, that's outstanding. That picture is the first I've seen of your recent work in months, and I'm speechless. Well...mostly...I don't get speechless much.
Without a doubt, that's the best symmetrically segmented pen I've ever seen, and that's setting the bar way up there..
You've taken it to the next level, man. If Rain Man was to own a pen, I bet it'd be that one! Yeah...definite-definitely 978 pieces in my rollerball pen...yeah...nine hundred...nine hundred seventy-eight...it's very sparkly...very shiny...
I'm in awe. I revel in just piling crap into a mold and dumping resin on it...I'm pretty sure that's not what you did there. heh
