I love making pens, but there was very little joy in making this one!
Some of you may recall this very same design winning front page on the IAP. Well, it caught the eye of an individual who fell in love with it so I figured it would go to a good home. The folks at USPS lost it....go figure so I gave the customer the option of refund, picking another pen, or I could make a replacement for the one that USPS lost. He opted for the same pen:biggrin: So here it is...finished yesterday and pretty much mirrored design, but I think this one looks better. All the grain from the Banded Ivory lines up on the pen and I'll be sad to see it go...UPS this time.
As always, larger images can be seen in my IAP gallery or my Flickr site, both linked below.
