Finished it this morning. Made out of a copper rod and a piece of Eugene's (ElMostro) Lava Lamp collection. Thought I would post it before heading to work. Hope you all have a good day. Thanks for looking. Doc
Bob, the clip is from a satin cigar kitThat is just a fantastic pen. I've been wanting to try turning some copper. I guess I'll have to order some & give this a try. Any tips on how you did the clip?
:good: Good looking pen. :good:
On my computer the pen looks like it has a clear coat of some kind on the copper. Did you put one on to keep it from tarnishing or greening the users finger?

You're on a roll with the metal pens Doc! Nice color combo, I wouldn't have thought about it, but it works great. Was the copper gummy to turn?
Mike
Absolutely beautiful.
I really like the contrast between the copper and the resin blank.
Did you make the clip out of copper, or use the one from out of a copper cigar kit ?
What do you use to keep the copper from tarnishing?
I think it is AWESOME.. but then again I am an electrician in my paying job. Where did you find the copper rod? I want to make something out of copper sections for my Dad, my mentor for Christmas and having issues finding much in the way of copper
Just wanted to add a picture...prettiest part that made the pen was Eugene's blank
Brian,
I am actually an electrician, and use ground rods on a regular basis. They are only copper clad with a steel core though.
