My first two Imperial RBs. I am a little surprised by the photos. They seem to make the pen barrel section look slimmer in the middle. I guess what takes me back is the care that I took on these two pens in using the calipers. I have never taken the time to make it perfect in size from one end to the other and matching the fitting diameters to a .000 tolerance.
These two are for the fathers of a couple on our team. Normally, I would charge 3 to 4 times the base cost, but in this case, the couple were hand picked by us. They work the the way everyone _dreams_ for a "team" to work. So I can only charge the cost of the pens.
These were a joy to make!
The Amboyna was made from 3/4 inch stock and I was a little skeptical if I could do it. However, I drilled the hole on the lathe and it worked fine.
The Ebony is not nearly as dark once outdoors as it appears in the photo. Inside, it does appear all black, but outdoors lots of dark brown streaks are readily visible.
CA finished. Only sneezed twice from CA fumes and dust. Dust Collector, mask and gloves used extensively.
