Oldschool Gunmetal

[greeneyedblackcat]

I know what you guys are going to say, "Greeneyedblackcat has totally lost it" but I'm having a blast making my medieval writing weapons. This one is blued steel (the original gun metal finish). I chose steel for this one because no matter what happens to the finish on this pen you just can't mess it up; scratches, rust, wear, etc all look great on this sucker. This is a kitless design, the wood is Bocote and I went with a mate finish on this one. I have included a picture of the parts before assembly.

I think you and Skiprat are having a competition behind the scenes.

Cool looking pen.

Looks more like he is arming himself to do something rather nasty to Skiprat...

Pretty wild batch of pens lately! Neato!

Well they do say that the pen is mightier than the sword. In this case it really is.:biggrin:
BTW, very nicely done.

That's pretty nice. Can you brighten up the photo's? I like how the cap blends in, good transition and proportions.

Its a real dark pen. Here are a few I brightened up a little, I will try to take a few more in the sun (if I ever see it again, its been raining for days

Jim,
Great weapon.... er I mean pen. I like your style.

 

[Russianwolf]

I bet they would sell like hotcakes at a Renaissance faire.

Do you need to apply for a concealed weapon license for these ?

Beautiful work. You had better make sure that your "Better Half" does not get a hold of it and use it on you.:wink:
