I had a customer request a "nautical" pen that he could keep on his sailboat (a nice 36-foot Beneteau cruiser). He wanted something fairly large, since he has trouble holding slim pens, and was interested in teak.
After visiting his boat, and seeing that all his interior woodwork was cherry, not teak, I came up with this:
I have some misgivings about it really being "nautical". I believe the cherry and chrome will accent the boat's fittings nicely, and the turk's head knot is quite grippy, but is that really enough? Short of inlaying the Beneteau logo, or other sailing image, what else could I do?
Regards,
Eric
