Great looking group of pens. Especially like the classic brown. I am waiting on mine from Ed to try out.

I think it is great the way Dawn and Ed make available some wonderful blanks from around the world for us pen turners.

Hubba-hubba! Those are some GORGEOUS pens, Roy! I guess you must be about "show ready"!

I'm not too keen on the first. The third is interesting, but the second is awesome. I'll have to put one of those in the shopping cart.

Lou I've been "Show Ready" just don't know if the shows are ready:frown:

Very nice looking, I did not realize that Conway Stewart sold blanks

Eric, as far as I know they don't and Dawn or Ed can correct me, but I'm fairly certain www.Exoticblanks.com tracked down Conway Stewart's supplier . They are going to extreme measures to bring us quality merchandise.

Thank one and all who posted, BTW the Classic Brown is my favorite also!

Roy certainly makes our blanks look good!!! Excellent fit and finish makes these exceptional writing instruments. And, of course we thank Roy for the "publicity".

Roy is also correct in his assertion that I found the supplier for Conway Stewart. This has been the case for years, but I have not been allowed to use any names. Recently, I was allowed to purchase the yellow swirl and brown material due to a disagreement between CS and their supplier. That matter is now settled and I suspect I will not have access to "current product" in the future.

I DO have access to very high end acrylic from Italy. I will not be able to "Link" to a website showing the exact same material (which seems to have prompted the "run" on these two blanks). So, I am reluctant to take the risk. If you have interest in high end material like this, and are not intimidated by the price, send me a PM or email. I may start a group to do some "research" and possibly "presell". Also possible to get "custom colors" that may be distributed as VERY limited edition.

So, if you think you might like to be included in this project - let me know. Will take a couple months leadtime and I would want to have the material in my hands by August to get it ready for "top shelf presentation" at Christmas shows.

Roy, I have one of Ed and Dawns Classic Brown blanks, I want to get it into a Jr. Statesman before the first of next month, I turned it round last week, and the stuff if great to work with, I hope mine comes out any where near as well as yours did. Personally, I like all 3 pens, I think they are gorgeous.

 

[nava1uni]

WOW! I think words are insufficient to express their beauty. I like them. I really like the first, it reminds me of fire.

Beautiful pens Roy . I'm torn between the Classic Brown and the Mardi-gras , they both are great blanks and you did a wonderful job with them .
