a bit brighter

I lightened it up to see a bit more detail, it is a stunning pen and an equally talented execution.

Photo could be a hair brighter, but it doesn't take away from the incredible craftsmanship!

It almost looks like carbon fiber, that is simply amazing work!

 

[Ligget]

Simply stunning, well done!

 

[mredburn]

Great use of the material it really looks good. Mike

 

[Ankrom Exotics]

absolutely gorgeous! I appreciate the patience and skill it must have taken to make that blank. The fit and finish look to be spot on as well. Good luck with the entry.

We are talking about a 2008 entry and I guess it still looks good today. I wonder how he made out in the contest???

Nice job on getting the pen pieces and the kit working together in the design. Very well executed!

 

[jimofsanston]

That is an artist at work. It blows my mind. I wish i had only an 1/8th of your talent.

Thanks for the response concerning the glue, and the trick of wrapping with gauze and soaking with CA before drilling.

I want to attempt a similar blank. I plan to use a piece of really dark Gaboon ebony I got while in Chicago, cut into approx. 12" X 3/4" X 1/8" strips and then glue 12" long strips of aluminum to the ebony strips before cutting them to length and assembling the individual pieces.

If it turns out half as spectacular as yours, I'll be happy.

 

[theHullTurn]

That is amazing!

 

[PenMan1]

Man, If I made pens like that one, I'd need a hobby to get away from the pressure of, well, my penturning hobby.

Very nice work. I still think just piling crap in a mold is easier than gluing a bunch of crap together

 

[rudy497]

Nice looking pen

 

[cschimmel]

Chris, that pen is astounding, even Eagle would stare in utter amazement.
