Spalted Maple Graduate

[kyaggie]

Hello all,

I've been a lurker for a while and have enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful work. It warmed up enough today to go out and play so here is my first post of a spalted maple Graduate pen with chrome accents.

good lookin pen

how does the size of this pen compare to say a cigar style?

 

[kyaggie]

Thanks for the kind compliments!

how does the size of this pen compare to say a cigar style?

It's slimmer than a cigar with the upper barrel being very similar in size to a Designer or Classic ball point and the lower barrel comes down to just a tad bigger than a Slimline at the nib.

Take care,
Mike

I just love spalted maple. Maple is such an under rated wood. If you really sand it right is shows a very deep shine and has incredible chatoyance. Great looking pen thanks for showing it to us.
