Hi,
This is a pen I am just made for a wonderful young lady named Emily. She has special personal physical issues that required that if a pen were made for her that it meet a few dimensional chacteristics.
She needed a pen that had a defined grip point 1 1/2 inches above the writing point with a diameter of about half an inch. Her favorite colour is also important, it's blue.
I chose to use a blue ice bowling ball blank from Pens of Color, a few simulation Ivory cuts offs from another project and I use the hardware from a cigar pen.
I discovered that my baron pin chuck works really well for this diameter tube so I tossed the hardware and went for a desgn that was functional and fun to make.
Anyway, here is Emily's pen, I am looking forward to hearing about how she might like it.
