Couple of stock pens

[skiprat]

My wife got an order for 10 'budget' pens for another teacher to give to his class kids. My first official 'sale'!!!:biggrin: And I didn't even take a decent pic of them:redface: But they were just 'cheapies'
But she came back with orders for more and I've been busy since. :biggrin:
First there is the turquoise tru-stone in a Jr Statesman, then an Elegant Sierra with Rhodonite ( I think ) then a set of His and Hers EB's with some cool stuff that Charlie ( NewLondon) gave me. And finally one that will probably go to my boss. He is retiring next month and he's Irish, hence the colours:wink: It's a Silver/Ti Gold Cambridge with malachite ( also from Charlie ) Thanks Buddy!!!:biggrin:

Great looking pens Skip. The Malachite Cambridge is really something.

 

[DCBluesman]

They are all beautiful, Steven, especially the Cambridge.

 

[rjwolfe3]

WOW that green one is stunning. Is that a homebrew?

 

[Ligget]

Those are beautiful pens Steve, I need to get some TruStone and you may have tempted me to get some right away, hard to pick a favourite but the Cambridge is really cool my friend!

 

[cnirenberg]

I'm diggin the Malachite cambridge too. Too bad I stopped being Irish one day a year....

 

[Jim15]

Those are beauties, bet they will be happy with them.

ok, I can' talk to you anymore. :tongue:




Nice work, Skip.. you did a nice job with those. I was never really a fan
of the Cambridge, but this looks great! Maybe I'll have to reconsider.
I'm surprised how much of a sheen the white/gold has.

 

[workinforwood]

Those all look really great Steve. I wish my budget was that high!

 

[skiprat]

Thanks:biggrin:
The Cambridge one did have a green top too, but just looked OTT so I swapped it for the black. Unfortunately I didn't have another kit as I would have kept it and maybe used a black body on the other one.

I found the Rhodonite one as tough as nails to turn but the others were just like any other tru-stone to turn.

Charlie, are the gold/white and gold/black your own mix? If so, then you should really make them to sell!!!:biggrin:

Cheers

I need to go and work on a new casing pen:wink:

EDIT; Jeff, these weren't the budget ones, these are the orders that I got from that sale.

Great looking group of pens Steven. Congratulations on the sales, I knew if you kept on trying you'd finally get the hang of making a pen and sell one :wink: :biggrin:

 

[artme]

That is as fine a collection of pens as we are likely to see!:worship::worship::worship:
The matching of kit and blank is spot on and the finish is brilliant.

I'm like a kid in a toyshop. Don't know which one I like best.

The kit I got from BearToothWoods.com ( excellent service :biggrinand the green Malachite you can get just about anywhere, but Charlie gave me that one:biggrin:

 

[PR_Princess]

Mooi Steven!!!! (......en Charlie te!):biggrin:

Congratulations on your first ever sale Steven!!!! 'Bout darn time!!!
I hope that the misses' is getting a good commission!:wink::biggrin:

 

[NewLondon88]

Charlie, are the gold/white and gold/black your own mix? If so, then you should really make them to sell!!!:biggrin:

If they are, they came out better than I thought! :tongue:

If they were in an "H" shape, then yes .. those came out of one of my molds.
I did some white/gold with powdered marble, and I also tried some black/gold
but I don't think I used marble.
If they were full sized blanks, then they are TruStone from Richard (randbcrafts) He's got great stuff.

 

[Dalecamino]

Very nice work Steven ! I go with the others on the Malicite Cambridge .

 

[erbymcbrayer]

I couldnt pick a favorite out, They are all georgeus, If I turned these I would have to keep all of them for my personal collection. Great job.

 

[ldb2000]

Great job on all of them Steven . My favorites are the white/gold and the black/gold Tru-stone EB's . Feels strange doing kit pens don't it ?
