Overall Length: 6"
Cap: 2 1/2"
Body: 5 1/2"

Weight: 19g without ink

Threads:

Johnathon, what material did you use for the front section? It sure did polish up nice!

Thanks Mark. The front section is black acrylic. I thought of using ebonite, but with the shine on the blank I didn't think it'd look as good. I can get a nice polish on ebonite, but not to that degree!

Thanks Bruce. The material is a standard acrylic blank from Richard Greenwald. Your the 3rd person to say it looks like anodized aluminum. It does have a cool metallic look to it.

Gorgeous!!!

Jonathan, I love this pen !! It is not only beautiful..but as I look at the threads, section, proportions, finish....the painstaking attention to detail that stand up to the scrutiny of macro-photography is really a testament to your skills as an artist. Well done, my friend!!

Great looking pen Jonathon. I like the colors. Good lines. And I also appreciate that you don't just post photobucket links because those don't work out here!

Pretty color and nice craftsmanship. All you kitless makers makes me want to jump in but still haven't taken the plunge. If I ever get one made it will be a long time for I will get one to look as nice as this pen and several others I see being made. Very nice.

Thanks! I think you'd be surprised how many pens like this I've made for other turners :wink::biggrin:
