Experimental Euro

[igran7]

I had a couple of free hours this morning and I wanted to try something a little different. This pen uses the European tubes, clip and nib. Wood is dyed green Maple, center and finial are Caribbean blue acrylic. Comments welcomed. Thanks for looking.

Joe,
I like the look of the pen. How does it open? Does the nib turn? I hate turning the centerband tenon for the euro. This makes a good option!

I am not to sure about this one. I think you need to send it to me for closer examination, and put to the test for a couple of years! [}] Really, It looks good. Nice segmenting and great selection of colors. Goes well with the kit.

Thanks Dave. The pen twists just like a normal slimline/Euro. The lower portion of the blank is cut at 1 1/4" long. The pen twists where the acrylic band starts.

Nice idea and finished pen. I like the twist action at the seams.
