From one of the so called class "C" blanks that David from Rarest Woods was selling a couple of weeks ago. Turned like butter, smelled like perfume and took a finish like acrylic. All comments welcome.

Very nice Roy!

That's the kit I'm planing on using for mine. Kinda seems fitting...

I always told my Mom that "C's" were good enough! Nice looking pen, Roy.

You turned a beautiful pen Oklahoma! the hardware seems very fitting indeed, Very acceptable spitzenclasse!!!!!!!

 

[workinforwood]

That's a beautifully executed blank you put into that guady kit Roy, well done!

 

[fernhills]

Those bigger pens are starting to grow on me. Nice very nice.

Todd, it's for inventory, you'd be amazed at how a pen with very exotic wood, scrim, or just priced high $400.00 and above will sell $150.00 to $250.00 pens.

Sure is purty.

very, very nice. I've had an emperor sitting in my shop cabinet for about 10 months now, just waiting for the right wood to put to it. That pen is gorgeous. Looks like I now have to look at rarest woods and see what I can see.

Excellent Marketing Strategy!

I keep a couple of Statesmens around at the $225.00 mark, maybe I need to step it up a notch.....

 

[hilltopper46]

Roy, that is a real pretty pen!

 

[kruzzer]

Wow, real great pen... stunning

 

[erbymcbrayer]

That pen speaks for its self, Beautiful job, Beautiful pen.

 

[marcruby]

I've got a piece that Dave gave me with some Jichimu I ordered that was just big enough for a baron. And maybe a finial. It really does work and finish well. I think the C grade wood may be more interesting than the 'A' grade which your pen proves beautifully.

[toolcrazy]

[JayDevin]

[Ligget]

[angelofdeath]

Roy,

That is one awesome looking pen, with some might fine wood. Great job

 

[Dalecamino]

Beautiful Roy !

 

[VisExp]

Beautiful pen Roy. You definitely have a pen with a "story" behind it there.

 

[bitshird]

Thats a real Jaw dropper for being C grade wood, nice job Roy.

 

[Daniel]

Great Pen Roy, and Encourages my choice in selecting an A grade blank for my LE Emperor. Sort of sets me at ease just a bit. Now if I was one your side of turning it. I'm not to worried but all the same I will feel better when it is said and done.
On another note. care to take a shot at valuing that pen of yours? I don't even know where to start.

Pens with a story are on par with pens of beauty. This one is rare in that it has both.
