Fiery Acrylester Custom Order FP

[drgoretex]

Hello folks.

Here's a custom order I finished today with the last of this particular inlace acrylester. I had forgotten how brutal this stuff is to work with...dulls tools in seconds, chips like crazy...but very cool once polished.

This clip was chosen for the clean lines to match the shape of the pen, though as style has a larger radial arm on it, this required a larger diameter cap. The cap itself has a thin piece of the same acrylester to match the barrel, though it turned out a little more subtle than I was hoping.

Thanks for looking!

Comments/constructive critique welcome as always.

So, it's okay that I peed a few drops from being too impressed? Not that I did that or anything.....

Very nice pen very nicely done. I really like that blank it looks like it's on fire.

 

[G1Pens]

That is one awesome looking pen. The blank is outstanding and your work is even better. I hope that one day I can make something that cool and do that good of a job on it.

Are you putting tubes and a kit nib on this piece, or is it all custom?

Thanks! The blank is 'Golden Dawn' from Exoticblanks (our PR Princess...)

This is full custom. No tubes, the nib is a good JoWo nib, not a kit nib. The clip is pilfered from an ElGrande kit, but installed with a custom threaded finial.

Cheers,

Ken

That's one of the sexiest pens I've seen in a long time. There are a lot of great pens posted on the IAP, but this one really shines!!! I love it

 

[hewunch]

Ken, not much more to be said. Amazing work.

It is beautiful Ken! I love the thin line on the cap. That's the subtle touch that sent it over the top for me. Congrats!

 

[IPD_Mr]

Ken that is one of your more claasic designs. Good lines and i like the thin red band in the cap.

 

[turbowagon]

Awesome -- What a beauty, Ken! I think the understated band in the cap is a nice touch. I wouldn't change a thing about this one.

Great looking pen, simple elegant and the kind of thing I gotta try one of these days!

 

[MarkD]

Wow...that's one outstanding pen. Great lines and detail! The blank is awesome as well. Great Job!

Ken,

I am proud I have a pen of yours.

This is fantastic workmanship, now how about taking it to the next level?

African Blackwood and Amboyna burl with the same design and you have to find a black ti clip and nib.

I would love to give that a try. The difficulty lies in doing the clip - could not doa threaded finial, but perhaps another hidden clip technique would work well. Then the issue of how to do the CA finish such that it is still sealed at the clip hole....Hmmm...you're giving me much to ponder, Charles

Happy holidays!
