Welcome to the frustration Ron.[][]
Nice display of your work[^] although I think your Diamondwoods are a little Ruebenesque.

 

[RonInSpringTX]

R2 understand about the frustration & all!! don't know what you mean on Diamondwoods? (the Koa?? or??) & being Ruebenesque??? (what's that??)

Politely, he is saying that your pens are a bit large in their contours. Shape is of course a personal thing. Although your work is very nicely finished, I am not a fan of overly contoured pens.

Welcome aboard the Forum, Ronnie! []

 

[RonInSpringTX]

well, most of these for people that placed orders so I asked them their preferences!!!!

 

[DougMJones]

I've never been a fan of the plump pens but I have an order for 20 assorted acrylic pens in that shape that will be given as Christmas presents. The buyer has one like that and thinks it's very comfortable to write with. She paid up front so I'm glad to make them anyway she wants.[]

Welcome Ron, great work![]

 

[RonInSpringTX]

thanks Doug & ligget .... I agree ask up front to see what they want!! but I usually make 'em a little plump, most people seem to like 'em, especially at a craft show, etc...they usually like the feel. I make thinner ones too, but not the slimlines. The cigar / bigben pens I tend to keep closer to the bushing size since they're so beefy anyways!! (sold the koa cigar one above for $75 & the polaris for $60) Think I'll do more of those!!!
adios...
Ron
