The Spirit Within

[workinforwood]

This is my Bald Eagle pentarsia design in 100% acrylic sporting the red, white and blue. The finial is a 20 gauge Winchester shotgun shell, the primer safely removed by simply firing the shell into a pile of dirt. The clip is scroll sawn brass. Yes..I shot in the snow. I hate snow, but pretty soon I'll be missing it too, so I decided to capture some in film. Thanks for looking.

Jeff,
Once again you have me scrathing my head and saying "WOW". That clip is fantastic, very cool indeed. PETS or People for the Ethical Treatment of Snow are going to protest, but I say go for it...

Hey Jeff, that's pretty damned cool!!! Every bit of it!! You certainly have conquered the metal lathe in record time!!!

Well done, once again:biggrin:

The eagle and clip are way cool. Not sure I like the busy background, but nice design evolution.

Thanks Steve. I'm going for the worlds second largest collection of Skippy pens! :biggrin: I really like making them. It's amazing how I can make a pen that is the same size or larger than a kit pen, and it weighs so much less. This pen is almost as big as a regular gent pen because of that shotgun shell casing, but it weighs the same as a euro pen. With the cap posted, it is not all top heavy. Just the feel of the pen in my hands as I test write with it is so much nicer..although that part could just be all in my mind.
